How To Easily Edit Image Instantly In Chrome By Alt + Right Clicking it

Often while creating a project we need to use an image of something we are describing. My go-to website for images is Google Images where after a little searching, I find my required image. Sometimes however the image needs a little cropping or editing of some other sort. In that case I first save the image on my hard drive and proceed to edit it with my image editing program, Microsoft Office Picture Manager.

If there were a way to edit the images we see in our browser, then my task would be made greatly easier. I could save the time taken to open up Microsoft Office Picture Manager and edit my picture, then save it. All I would need to do is edit my required image within the browser, then save it to my hard drive.

Fortunately for me and for all computer users whose work requires them to find images online, now we can edit our images within our internet browser. The condition is that we need to be Google Chrome users because the tool used to perform our editing task is a Chrome extension titled InstantImageEditor.

The extension works in a very straightforward manner. Suppose we have run a search for “birds” in Google Images and I want to edit a search result:

With the extension installed, all I have to do is right-click on the image while pressing down the ALT key. My image will be opened in the highly popular online image editor Pixlr:

This editor offers a wide range of options which we can use to modify our image. It performs almost all functions which we need while editing our image, including cropping, rotation, resizing, drawing, and adding various effects.

Thanks to InstantImageEditor I no longer have to go through an extra step to obtain my desired image from the internet. Try out the extension yourself and personally experience how easy it makes getting the right image.
