The term ‘photo editor’ does not convey all that is available on Lunapic. On Lunapic, it is possible to do just about anything you can think of to an image. On drop-down menus on the site, you have 255 ways to attack an image. Lunapic is completely free and always works well.

In addition, the ‘help’ drop-down menu has a list of tutorials for working with images and other useful advice. I often use Lunapic in tandem with Pixlr X for my self-published book covers.

In many ways, Lunapic is a novelty site. Most of the fonts available are unsuitable for book covers because of their novelty aspect. I prefer to use Pixlr X for the more traditional fonts.

The screenshot below shows one of ten drop-down menus on Lunapic. The column on the far left has all the usual tools for working with images.

The more bizarre features on Lunapic include:

  • inserting your country’s flag behind or across your image
  • adding a dollar note to the image
