I am always looking for a fun new photo app. I take and use a lot of pictures in my library and online here at TLT. With the right app you can turn a simple photo into a fun work of art. In this recent round of new photo apps I tried Font Killer, Space Effects, Split Pic, Instant Blend and BeFunky. Of the 5, I highly recommend BeFunky. It does a lot of cool things and it is quick and easy to use. It also turns out there is an online version that you can use (some elements are free and there is an option to upgrade).

In the photo editor, you can add effects – which are basically cool filters or colorings, you can add text, you can add overlays, you can add frames, and there are some fun things under “goodies” like stickers and speech bubbles that can be added to give your picture a little whimsy or pizazz.

In Be Funkky you can also do some basic edits like crop, rotating, and fiddle around with things like brightness and contrast.
