Edit images - the three best free downloads

You can find countless image editing software on the Internet, but which free program is best for editing images? We present you the top 3, with which you can turn small snapshots into real highlights.

1. The classic: Gimp - Free photo editing tool

• The free software "Gimp" is easy to use and contains all functions for fast and effective image editing.
• The assembly technology and retouching functions are particularly impressive with the free image editing program, but working with different levels and filters also works without any problems.
• You can download the latest version here.

2. The Magix Photo Designer with a huge range of functions

• The free program from Magix "Photo Designer" does not have quite as many functions as its full version "Magix Photo and Graphic Designer", but it contains all the basic functions and a few extras: for example, brightening individual areas.
• The photo designer is particularly suitable for beginners in image editing, since you usually do not have to search for the functions for a long time and no complicated settings are necessary.

3. Paint.NET for fast and extensive image corrections

• The photo editing tool for professionals is Photoshop. But with Paint-NET you get a small but nice alternative that can even open Photoshop layers.
• It works with one of many plugins for Paint-NET, with which you can get even more out of the free software.
• But the countless tools and filters also offer many other processing options that go far beyond contrast and color corrections. Even if the software does not have as much scope as Gimp, it is even easier to use

We have put together numerous tips and tricks for Gimp, Paint.NET and Co. here.
