Do you need an online editor?

PicMonkey API based editor that requires Adobe Flash is no longer an option soon coming to it's end. We need to either give up on such additional service entirely, or find a replacement for it (some HTML5 based API/SDK service).

One hardly finds anything for free anymore. So, if we still do wish to have one, it very likely will cost us something. Feedback on this subject is welcome. Here are some online editors available that I have manage to find.

➽ photoeditorsdk.com
One option is Photo Editor SDK used at Flickr: photoeditorsdk.com/case-studies. SDK stands for software development kit. The photo above has been edited on Photo Editor SDK to get the text added. All who still have account at Flickr can test it there.

➽ fotor.com
Fotor as such does not save EXIF, at least not with the free version. There's no adjustable simple border width, and in my test I had to crop to make the standard black border thinner. Fotor provides SDK, and it may come with extras like print designer, collage maker, and GoArt.

➽ ribbet.com
Saves EXIF and provides simple frames easy to add. Currently Ribbet uses Adobe Flash, but has a HTML5 under development. There's similar application programming interface (API) provided as there used to be for PicMonkey. But will that be available once they get their HTML5 editor finished, is still open. May provide also collage maker.

➽ pixlr.com
Just rediscover this myself. I will update this part later. However, no API available at the moment.

➽ picmonkey.com
PicMonkey is also developing their HTML5 based version, but whether it will be available via API or SDK is still open. Moreover, it very likely is no longer free to use, as their Adobe Flash based API was. Also PicMonkey has their collage maker, but at least that does not seem to be integrated to their photo editor.

UPDATE May 13, 2020: We are now informed by PicMOnkey. Unfortunately they are no longer providing API service for their new HTML5 online editor. It means PicMonkey especially is no longer an option in the future.

Keep in mind that these online photo editors are out there to use anyway. So, I recommend visiting those web sites in case you for example need to make collages.

If it is decided to give up providing integrated online photo editor, then there are number of software available out there. PhotoShop and Lightroom are of course the most known, but they are not free. Instead of even trying to introduce all of them here, I recommend reading Stacy Fisher's 10 Best Free Photo Editors review at lifewire.com. And if it is photo editing on handhelds that you are interested on, then read Tom J Law's The 19 Best Photo Editing Apps for iPhone and Android in 2020 at Oberlo (beware the nasty pop-up ads).

And if you already miss the possibility to edit the existing image on your albums, do remember that you can always use 'ACTIONS > Replace' to "update" your existing image here at ipernity. That is useful for example when you wish to change the image but keep the discussions below. Like I have done here.
