We love Snipshot

Snipshot

You’re away from your office or at a meeting. You need to crop an image for a presentation, or your exclusive blog post that Arrington will envy. All you have is a simple computer, and nowhere near enough time or patience to install a Photoshop trial. What do you do?

You could play around in MS Paint, hoping that your image is within a few hundred pixels of size as to what you were after.

Or, you could visit Snipshot, the only free, simple, online, cropping tool I’ve ever seen that allows you to perform precise resizing.

From a creative that’s been stuck in his client’s office many times with an image editing app nowhere in sight, Snipshot has been godsend on many occasions.

Add this goody to your bookmarks for the time’s you’re stuck with your friend or client’s crappy computer and have a naked blog post begging for an image.

    That’s nifty, almost makes me not want to open Photoshop for any simple resizing/cropping anymore. Will give it a go on my next blog post’s picture!

    Thanks for the heads-up. Also, check out www.picnik.com. It’s a similar tool but it’s got tons of other functions too.

    There have been so many times I could have used this! Thanks for sharing.

    Finally… I have had the shame of using Paint at work for the same thing…
