Review & Alternatives

"A free and powerful image editing software."

Overview:

PhoXo makes for a lightweight and fully functional alternative to the traditional Paint program installed with Windows. If you hate Photoshop and have a hard time getting the hang of the program, PhoXo is a much simpler and easy to use alternative to that too. This alternative paint program allows you to use layers, includes over 50 special effects, batch processing, and the ability to crop, paint, retouch, and manipulate photos to your liking. This is a totally free, full version program that thousands of people have downloaded and use on a daily basis. 

As far as free image editing software is concerned, this is one of the best out there. 

Installation:

Installation of PhoXo is really quick and simple. It takes just a few short steps and the program is fully installed. There's no special requirements to get PhoXo to work, but it's only compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. The file size is also extremely small at only 4 megabytes! That means that even people with PC limitations will be able to use the program effectively. 

There's no spyware or adware associated with this program at all. You get a clean install of this top notch image editing software with no strings attached!

Interface:

The interface of this program couldn't be better. Within 5 minutes of playing with the program, you'll be able to create beautiful images and/or edit existing ones. All the features of this program are laid out in easy to use menu drop down boxes and icons. It should be pretty simple for beginners to get the hang of using this program in just a few moments of starting it up for the first time. 

While it's not incredibly full featured as far as program options go, it does make a suitable image editor for people that want a freeware alternative to Microsoft Paint. 

Pros:

  • Over 50 Special Effects
  • Includes Smiley Face Icons And Frame Border Images
  • Totally Freeware Program - There's Never Any Cost To Use This Program Ever

Cons:

  • This Program Lacks Advanced Features That Some Users Will Find Limiting

Alternatives

Paint Shop Pro - This popular software has stood the test of time as one of the best image editing suites available for download. Thousands of people worldwide use this software everyday to create stunning images and graphic collaborations. If you want a full featured image editor that rivals Adobe Photoshop, then consider Paint Shop Pro by Corel. 

Serif Photo Plus - This is another award winning program that makes for a suitable alternative to the competition. This photo editing software comes with extensive video tutorials so you learn how to use the program without missing a beat. Advanced users will love the complex functionality, while beginners will be able to take advantage of the programs abilities as well. 

Conclusion:

PhoXo is a great freeware image editing program that has some pretty cool special effects. There's 50 of them to work with in total, which is pretty neat. While there's not a whole lot to the PhoXo program, for what you can get done with it, we're glad it's free. The smileys in the program are cool, but the border effects are what really caught our eye. The borders look absolutely beautiful, and we know you'll have a lot of fun playing with them.
