Super useful online tools to work with images

Minus


As a developer or designer, you often need to upload images for sharing them with clients or people you work with. Many websites allow you to do so, but what I really love with Minus is how quick and easy it is: Just drop your image on their website, and it’s online. They’ll even give you a short url so you can share your image easily. No registration required!

Just one request, I hope they’ll add a resize image feature soon.
