Pixlr Express is an easy to use photo editor like Photoshop Express along the bottom it offers several adjustments including crop resize color red-eye and several others there are some cool effects overlays borders stickers and the ability to add text to your image if you want to quickly edit your photos.
I would recommend using Pixlr Express / Pixlr editor but if you want more tools at your disposal and I would recommend Pixlr editor most of the tools are on the left along with extra tools found in the menu bar and you have the ability to add more layers on the right if you prefer to work with server based programs.
Pixlr editor and Express are both excellent choices for editing your images without the need to download any software.
