FotoWorks XL - Free Photo Editor is a straightforward free image editor. Designed with the casual user in mind, this photo editor has a solid range of options for cleaning up and editing images.

Simple to use

While not as powerful or complicated as the more popular Photoshop, FotoWorks XL - Free Photo Editor is a great choice for those with the occasional need to clean up or edit an image. The interface is clean and simple to use, with sliders such as brightness and contrast clearly labelled and easily changed. A wide variety of image types can be imported and then converted, rotated or similarly edited with ease. Text and graphics can be added and edited with a single click. While it is clear that FotoWorks XL - Free Photo Editor is aimed more towards those without much image editing experience and so will not satisfy experienced users, it competes well with other popular free options like GIMP.

One for beginners

FotoWorks XL - Free Photo Editor is a solid choice for those who wish to start image editing without much fuss. The software is simple enough to jump in straight away with and produce results in minutes but professional or experienced users will probably want a more expensive alternative.
