Photo Editor: Citrify

It's nice to bump into new sites that just improves the usual. Citrify is another great online photo editor that is user-friendly but ultra portable. There's no downloading anything except your photo masterpiece. I'm still a big fan of Picnik for cutesy creations, but Citrify is best for editing on blemishes and tweaking on effects. Think of this site as a really simple Photoshop and Picnik combined. But its app is pretty powerful and nifty to use, and it easily integrates to your computer as if you're using an installed program.

For today, Citrify gets ***** as it hopefully becomes a robust online tool.

Tips & Tricks: PrintWhatYouLike

Is it ever crappy to cut/copy/paste text on notepad or Word from a website? And what about just printing off from your browser? Talk about waste of ink or paper. Unless it's a printer-friendly page or you've mastered the art singled-handledly, Printwhatyoulike helps to ease that printing chore. Plus, there's no download done! Check out the site's how-to through their video:



Bottomline: It requires routine to get used to this printing aid. Remember it works for sites that are not encrypted. Secured links or forms usually do not work on its link generator. Think of this site's portability when the lazy gets tough ;)

For today, I adore PrintWhatYoulike for making printing webpages less boring and easy!*****!

Online File Converter: PDFtoWord

It's that spur-of-the-moment need to convert a doc file to PDF and vice versa. But big bummer, when you get a really hard time finding a good file converter to do the latter. I never thought I'd be thankful enough to find PDFtoWord, where you can convert for FREE. My regular online file conversion site failed me on a particularly wrong (and restricted) PDF to text conversion.

So, it's about time that I include this no-obligation cloud app in this roster of website goodies. Oh, you need an email add to get on with this service. :)

For today, PDFtoWord is efficient and reliable: *****.
