Online grayscale effect generator

I have just released a new utility. It can transform any image you want into grayscale and it goes beyond the trivial filter you see everywhere.

This grayscale photo effect generator has useful features like:
- accepts JPG, GIF and PNG images;
- has several ways to transform the original colors into gray tones;
- offers great control of number of gray levels (you can even create black and white images);
- let you choose the quality level of JPG outputs;
- preserves alpha information (transparency) for GIF and PNG images.

Here you see some examples changing the grayscale criterion and number of gray tones:

You can use this new P2P utility at the Grayscale Image Generator page. I didn't announced it in the middle column of the main page, but there is a menu item to this tool in the "Utilities" section of the left side menu.

Photo halftone effect generators

I have just released two new Picture to People online tools able to create halftone photo effects. Have fun using them for free.

Halftone Image Generator: developed to turn pictures or any images into kind of traditional, high quality halftones. It creates monochrome dithering drawings, but they keep the most relevant spacial and luminance information.

Colorful Photo Halftone Creator: published to generate beautiful artistic colorful halftone drawings, mainly focused on dealing with photos. This tool offers some interesting freedom degrees that let you decide the output detail level, so it can handle very detailed portraits.

Here you can see a photo and two halftone effects produced by using these new P2P softwares respectively:

Online caption generator for photos

Now Picture to People has a powerful tool to easily add amazing text captions to photos or any images.

Since nowadays most P2P text generators offer optional transparent background, you can think this new software is not a big deal because you can generate text effects and set them over a photo later.

You really can make any composition with our graphic texts, but this new software is not just a matter of easiness. It has several exclusive features, like for example:
 - high font size granularity;
- customizable text rotation;
- colored shadow;
- double border level;
- innovative text layouts.

This tool uses my new, exclusive, context sensitive, letters distance adjust algorithm, so the software lays the text out nicely even when drawing in a waved or circular flow for example.

Below you see a photo with several text captions inserted by using the software to Add Text To Photo Online.

Make beautiful logos and icons with cool effects

Now Picture to People project offers a tool that was very requested by users last year: a software pack able to render effects for logos.

The idea is simple and easy: you upload a black and white image that represents the "stencil" of your logo. P2P software interprets this input and renders the effect of your choice.

I hope this new class of online softwares helps many people to get more visual appealing logos, icons symbols or whatever they need in an simple, easy and fast way.

Bellow you see some examples of these new tools in action (the first image is the input black and white stencil). You can see the complete list of logo effects at the Online Logo Editors page.
