3 Free Online Tools everyone should know about

Free Online Tools and Web apps are truly time and space savers. You might not be aware of what I am talking about but after checking the 3 free online tools discussed here you will realize how often you could have used it or will use it in the future after knowing about these today.

Let’s discuss these online tools one by one.

1. Canva

Canva is the online Graphic platform where you can design Logos, Presentations, Posters, Video Thumbnails, documents, etc. Normally, if you will decide to perform the same task on your PC, you will choose Adobe illustrator or similar apps which will occupy significant space and also take time in downloading and installation. On Canva you can quickly import templates online and modify them according to requirements or build custom designs starting from scratch. Canva is free but has a premium version as well which gives access to premium templates and elements.

Although Canva is not a complete alternative to Adobe Illustrator or other illustration apps it is useful when you need simple and clean design quickly. It is flexible with a lot of design options and features.

2. Shortpixel

Imagine you are applying for a job or university admission and on uploading a photo you realized its file size is too much that it can’t be uploaded. The conventional solution will be to use Photoshop to reduce the size of the image. Photoshop will work good but at the same time, it can take more time for this simple task which you can easily do in few seconds using an online tool called Shortpixel.

Shortpixel provides 3 levels of compression. Lossy, Glossy, and Lossless. All 3 work great however if you need file size reduced greatly then choosing the “Lossy” option will work best for you otherwise you can use “Lossless” compression which will reduce image size without losing any quality.

3. PicResize

PicResize is the online image resizing tool which can be used to modify the dimensions of an image. Imagine you need a passport size picture for submitting documents but you have an image in 1000 X 1000 dimensions. Although pictures can be resized using Photoshop, if you don’t have photoshop already installed on PC then let’s save time and disc space by using PicResize which allows reducing dimensions by a fixed percentage and also allows custom dimensions for pictures as well. The process of picture resizing with PicResize will take only a few seconds.
