Today is Day 2 of Photo Tips & Tricks during the Boost Your Blog Challenge. Lots of bloggers want to have great looking photos but may not want to spend top dollar on photo editing software. Well, you will not have to spend a penny on two of my favorite ways to edit photos or create great collages for blog posts.

These photo editing programs are called iPiccy and PicMonkey. Both have free versions that allow for a wide range of photo editing possibilities. If you aren’t familiar with either of these do not be sad. We have basic tutorials for you from our guest bloggers!

I personally use BOTH just depends on my mood and what I am trying to achieve. Each program offers similar fonts, labels, cropping, and touch-up tools. Each program offers things in a slightly different manner. Try them both and you’ll see what I mean. I tend to use iPiccy for my collages more than Picmonkey. I was using Picmonkey for my Facebook Cover Photos since they had a collage already sized for cover photos!
