Photo Toys

Photo editor and collage maker aimed squarely at people who want a decent result without learning anything first.

Paint over the tourist, the bin or the power line and it fills in whatever should have been behind them.

Ugly, ancient, and still better than everything else at cutting, resizing, reversing and optimising a GIF.

Rebuilds a photograph out of coloured triangles, with sliders controlling exactly how abstract you want to get.

Builds a photo mosaic out of hundreds of your other photos, free to make and zoomable right down to each tile.

Colourises black-and-white photographs, then lets you steer the result by describing the colours you wanted in words.

Puts your face on billboards, banknotes and museum walls using several hundred templates. Aggressively 2009.

Photoshop rebuilt in a tab, opening PSD, XCF and Sketch files. Free, and startlingly close to the real thing.

Two editors in one — a quick one and a layered one — both free in the browser with the usual filters and masks.

Blows one image up into a multi-page halftone poster that you print at home and tape across an entire wall.

Drop in a photo, get a clean cut-out back. It handles hair, which is the part that used to take an hour.

Compare image codecs side by side with a draggable split, and see precisely what each quality setting costs you.

Drag in PNGs and JPEGs and they come back far smaller with no visible difference. Nothing else to learn.

High-resolution photographs from a huge community of photographers, free to download and use. Browse by topic or colour without signing up.

Upscales artwork and photographs without the usual mush, using a network trained specifically on line work.

Eighty live webcam effects, most of them terrible, all of them fun for exactly the ninety seconds required.
