Webcam Toy is a simple photo editing add-on that works directly through the Chrome web browser.

Editing your favorite webcam shots doesn’t need to be an expensive or complicated process. With Webcam Toy, you can quickly make changes to your digital photos directly through the Chrome browser. This streamlined add-on is very easy to use, and it gives you access to a long list of interesting editing tools. Webcam Toy is a great Chrome add-on for those who want to learn the basics of photo editing without going out and buying an expensive camera or a complicated piece of software.

This program has been packaged into a very small file, and it should only take a few seconds to download. Once you have downloaded and installed the software, you will need to grant it access to your computer’s camera. If you plan on using this add-on regularly, then you might want to give it permanent access to the webcam. After you have granted it access, you can immediately begin taking and editing photos.

Webcam Toy currently offers just over 80 filters and effects, and you can combine those effects to create your own unique digital masterpieces. When you are finished editing your photo, you can save it locally or upload it directly to your favorite social media platform. This editor allows you to create eye-catching thumbnails and profile pictures in a matter of seconds, and you won’t need to master any complex features.

The biggest drawback of Webcam Toy is the limited number of editing tools that it offers. While the effects and filters are fun to try out, it might not have all of the features that you are looking for. That being said, this is an excellent entry-level program for those who only need to snap a quick picture. It also works directly through the Chrome Browser, and that means you won’t have to open up multiple windows and programs.
