Photo Editor
Photo Editor is a Windows-based image editing application developed by Program4PC. It offers essential editing tools such as cropping, color adjustment, and overlays. While the basic features are free, advanced functions like GIF creation and format conversion require users to purchase a license to unlock the full version.
Installation and Interface:
Installing the software is straightforward—just download the installer and run it. Photo Editor is compatible with Windows operating systems starting from Windows 7. After launching the app, the home screen provides access to various tools like editing, image conversion, and screen capture. However, each feature runs in its own dedicated interface, and only one can be active at a time. Users must close the current task before switching to another.
Editing Capabilities:
In the free version, users can adjust image size and color, and apply effects such as blur, wave, vignette, pixelation, emboss, and sharpen. Fun decorative overlays—like hearts and confetti—can also be added. Upgrading to the full version unlocks additional features including GIF and slideshow creation, image format conversion, screen capturing, and the ability to extract images from video files.
A Basic but Limited Tool:
Photo Editor is user-friendly and straightforward, but its functionality is quite restricted. Switching between tools is time-consuming due to slow interface loading. Moreover, many of the premium features are available for free in other more robust alternatives, such as PhotoScape.
