PhotoRem represents a very interesting alternative for services like Flickr, YouTube or Picassa; providing a central place for us to store photos, videos and documents completely free.
PhotoRem also includes an application to edit your photos directly online, avoiding installing special software locally, editing it and then uploading it again. Other feature included is the possibility to create a slideshow with your images.
The files supported for video are: Flv, Mov and MP4; and the type of documents supported: PDF, DOC and XLS. Also PhotoRem is social network friendly, uploaded files can easily be shared via Facebook, Twitter, etc.
OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software is not all that common and applications rarely include this service included, FreeOCR is a free web app which will allow us to easily extract text from images and even PDF files.
Not only free, FreeOCR is really simple to use: Access the site, click browse for selecting the image you would like to extract the text and just wait for a few seconds. No registration required.
FreeOCR has some limitations about the service: We can upload files up to 2MB, only 10 images per hour, and for PDF files, the text extracted will be only for the first page.
As you all know, PDF files are very static documents, and there’s no easy way to edit them, even more if the owner created some restrictions like printing. PDFUnlock! it’s a simple web app which allows us to remove these restrictions for free.
PDFUnlock! can remove normal restrictions from PDF files but does not removes user passwords, so if you have a password protected PDF, you will need it for using this app.
You can upload files up to 10MB. You just need to access the web site, click “Browse” to select the PDF you will like to use, and within a few seconds you’ll have it available for download.
There are several options regarding PDF readers, which try to be a better option than the original one offered by Adobe Reader. And now, we have among us the slimmest option available with SlimPDF Reader and the 1.43mb it represents.
For years, Adobe received several complaints about their PDF Reader (which a long time ago was the only option available), and most of them were and still are regarding the footprint of this app (large disk space and memory required to launch it). And because of that, the alternatives appeared; making Foxit Reader one of the most important ones, with the portability feature included.
SlimPDF Reader only takes a few MB in memory and a total disk space of 1.43MB; transforming in the smallest PDF Reader available. 100% free of course. Download it directly from this link.
Here’s a little comparison about current PDF Readers available:
