Pato: Funny Personalized Photo Effects

Pato is a free to use web-based application which will help you to make your photo look really unique. As with the case with all mainstream online editors, there is no need to download and install anything on your Hard Drive. Application will work in your web browser, while you are connected to the Internet.

Pato is absolutely free to use with no strings attached.

Your photo should be saved in JPG, JPEG or PNG format, and each image file should not be bigger than 3MB. Note that all pictures are stored on our server over 72 hours - after that time all pictures are irrevocably deleted. All the pictures which were sent by users you can find only in "picture URL" bookmark. Permanent URL is available only after uploading image on server. No pictures or URL's are published anywhere else by the Pato.

But you can always save picture on your hard drive by clicking "Save file" and then upload it to your profile, blog, and website.

There are certain categories of the images, which are not allowed to upload on the server: socially inappropriate, illegal, pornographic, obscene, indecent or offensive, promotes discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation or age, contains advertising messages. The list is pretty much standard and self-explanatory.
