rsizr is a simple Flash-based web application that lets you resize JPG, PNG, and GIF images on your computer ONLY. The great feature to have this photo editor in the list is a new image resizing algorithm called seam carving (a method of image retargeting) that tries to keep intact areas in your image that are richer in detail.

This is a simple tool to edit your photos online for free. Basically, you can use this free online photo editor to crop/resize an image, retouch a face, apply a few artistic effects and perform color correction easily. Multiple language support is a good point of this image editor.
