Picnik vs. FlauntR

Monday, October 1st, 2007

FlauntR is another online photo editor. For some reason, the site wouldn’t load properly on my firefox but it does on Safari. I tested some of its basic features and I find that it loads slower than Picnik but it performs just as well.

I think the main difference between the two web services is that Picnik offers advanced manipulations.

As for special effects, FlauntR offers the following: sepia, grayscale, blur, emboss, solarize and boost. I’m hoping that the site would add some fun effects in the future.

So far, FlautR’s features are limited but that might change soon because the site is still in its alpha stage. As of the moment, it can only directly upload to flickr. Perhaps in the future there would be integration with facebook, zooor, etc.

I find that Picnik is easier to use and has more fun features. The thing is, not all of its services are free. I can still use the premium features as of the moment but the site might ask for payments in the future. For now, I would use Picnik instead of FlautR.
