The Internet is the most powerful tool we have ever invented as a human species. It has revolutionised the way we communicate, learn and work with each other. The advantages of using the internet are countless but today we are only going to focus on a specific aspect of the web. If you need to do something on your computer, there is definitely a tool to suit your needs lying free in the World Wide Web.

In this article I have found and listed the best, in my opinion, free tools for 8 different purposes that you could use in the future.

1. Image Editing

PicMonkey is a website that offers a variety of free image editing tools. It’s simplistic and beautiful at the same time. It’s very easy to use and it offers a friendly environment to work on. It gives you all the basic functions you need to edit your photos and much more. What is great about picmonkey.com is that it’s constantly changing, adding more functionality to its overall experience.

2. Video Editing

WeVideo is a great tool for basic video editing. What is special about WeVideo is that it allows multiple people to work on the same project online. Another great thing about this platform is that it can be connected with Google Drive, meaning that you can store your project files online rather than on your local computer.

3. Website / Blogging

WordPress has made possible for many non-technical users to own a website or a blog. It’s extremely user friendly and it offers a variety of functionalities with focus on blogging. It’s fairly easy to get used to. There are two ways you can use WordPress. If you have your own domain name and hosting plan you can go with wordpress.org but if you don’t then you need to use wordpress.com to host your blog in their servers.

4. Brand Name

thenameapp.com is a great tool for someone who is just starting something new. It helps you find out if the name you’ve thought for your idea is taken or not.

5. Trending Content

If you’re a blogger or a website author then Google Trends should be your friend. It offers information about what is trending up at the moment in Google Searches. You can get information based on geographic location or just for a specific region of interest (like technology). Google Trends could be a great tool to attract more readers to your website. You should definitely give it a try.

6. Organize & Collaborate

Team assignments? Collaborative Projects? Startups? trello.com can handle them all. Trello offers functionality to suit the need for collaborative work and project planning. If you haven’t heard of Trello so far you should definitely check it out.

7. Learning

The most beautiful tool that the internet has to offer to the world is learning. Information flows freely on the net but some websites are here to offer you structured online learning for any topic you can imagine. I couldn’t make my mind for which of the learning platforms is the best so I decided to list the top 3 platforms in the field of education according to popular belief. Those platforms are :

• Khanacademy
• Coursera
• Codecademy
  

8. Free Stock Photography

I chose to end this article with something magical. You might say that this is not a tool but you are wrong. pexels.com lets you search its database for beautiful stock photography. What’s great about pexels is that it lets you use any photo you can find freely
