Tools available
After you pick a service and image type you need to create, you are given two steps to crop and edit your picture before it is ready.
This is our original image:
The first set of tools allows you to crop, rotate and flip the image. You are required to start with an original image that is at the minimum dimensions for that particular image type. This allows you to get the sizing right on the photo. You are also given a variety of photo filters to apply to your image. You can use Sepia filters to off black and white filters to even retro looking ones.
You can only choose one, but the photo filters can be powerful to apply to a photo depending on the colors it originally uses. This can take some time per photo to find the right look but can make all the difference in how it stands out once it is displayed on the network or service of your choice. You are also given a handful of effects you can add to your pictures. These effects can do everything from sharpen the image to blur it to making it black and white. Depending on the type of filter you used, it could take a few tries to get the right effect to really bring out the best in your image.

Downloading and sharing
When you are finished editing your photo, you can download it in PNG or JPEG format to your computer. You can also rename the image before you download it to your computer.
Saving these pictures in PNG format makes them lossless, so if you choose to edit them further after downloading, you can do so without losing the original quality.
During the download process, you can even share what you have created on Facebook, Twitter and Google+ before uploading it and setting it as your picture of choice.
