CutMyPic: Easily Crop Images and Give them Round Corners and Drop Shadow

CutMyPic is an online tool that you can use to easily cut pics and images. The tool was conceived by a team of Tokyo based programmers that wanted more of the internet than ad filled pages and buried tools that makes it even harder for you to find what you’re looking for.

The tool is very simple and easy to use. Just upload a photo or an image that you want to crop. You’ll get the sizing information when the upload is done and you can simply drag the selection tool on top of your image to select which part you want to leave behind.

CutMyPic also lets you add a little something to your image. You can chop off the sides of your image and give it rounded corners. You can choose the level of roundness you want your image corner to have. Another plus is that you can place a drop shadow effect on your image. Simply adjust the darkness level of the drop shadow effect by dragging on it. Preview your image and save it or email it to your friends when you’re done.

This is a great alternative if you don’t want to open a CPU hungry desktop image editing software. You can use this nifty tool to cut and add a drop shadow effect to your blog images. You can also use it in making your avatar image/photo a little more, well, “rounded.” If you don’t want rounded corners, it can function as a quick cropping tool and a drop shadow effect tool.

Slice and Crop Your Photos Online

PicSlice is a place online where you can slice and crop your photos. The webapp is useful if you want to adjust your photos depending on your needs and if you do not have a decent photo editor available on a computer that you are using. You can either upload from your computer or use a link from your online photo/image host.

Saving the image is very easy. You can choose from two ways to save your sliced image. Clicking a slice will download it. So all you have to do is click all the slices to complete your image. Or, you can download the zip file which contains all the sliced images.
