I had a few times need to create and/or edit photo, but I wasnt on my computer, on known system, once it was at Zurich’s airport.
So, what do you do? If you have Adobe’s Photoshop Express online account, nothing to worry. If you just need to do some quick edit, but complex enough that Microsoft’s Paint cannot do we have solution.

At Pixlr (click for the app), we have an online and completely free Photoshop-like application. Not so complex as real Photoshop, but far better then majority of free image editing applications (save Gimp and Krita).
It is capable of saving your image as JPEG, PNG and BMP formats which you download immediately to your machine.
Working with Pixlr is a breeze. It’s worth checking out.
