Editing Features:  

Lunapic has little in the way of photo and image editing that most online image editing sites don’t have, but makes up for its also-ran edit features with its unique animation and image creation tools and features, letting users add engaging animation effects to existing photos or create from scratch.

Like most software-based paint programs, Lunapic is mouse driven, meaning that users lacking in a steady hand or using the mouse pad on a laptop or netbook might not be able to benefit from the tools as much as a stationary PC or a mouse-enabled laptop user would be. Nevertheless, most other tools, both animation and traditional photo editing, are straightforward, requiring less manual cueing than the image creation and design features.

Import/Export:  

Like many online image editing sites, Lunapic integrates with several popular photosharing and social networking sites, including Flickr, Facebook, Myspace and Picasa. Images can additionally be uploaded from and saved to a computer.

Also, in terms of video and image file formats, Lunapic is among the best, being compatible with GIF, JPG, BMP, PNG, AVI, MPG, FLV, RM and others, greatly reducing additional steps like reformatting.

Ease of Use:  

Lunapic is, from start to finish, about as straightforward as they come. From uploading photos from other websites or a personal computer to exporting, saving and sharing them, editing, designing, transforming, undoing and redoing are logical and orderly. Better, Lunapic gives users a great deal of oversight of their image or photo and its transition, allowing users to go back to any stage of the development and alter or undo changes where necessary.

Help/Support:  

Lunapic makes a strong argument for itself with its help and resources sections that, are located in a conveniently-located “Help” tab that includes a detailed FAQ section, a help forum and a contact page for reporting bugs and giving site feedback. Lunapic also features a “Tutorials” tab that gives how-to instructions for various tasks and tool and feature use.

Though Lunapic looks a few years behind the times, it still has more than enough to its site and program to ensure its prominence among online image editing sites and its use by photo hobbyists, social networkers and photo sharers for a few more years to come. And, given its animation effects, even users loyal to services like flauntR, Picnik and Photoshop Express are likely to stop by Lunapic every now and again.
