Rollip is an editor which is centered around Filters, overlays effects and borders, only. I am mitigated because it propose to choose a filter before to upload a picture.

I, personally, need to see the picture and the filter side by side to see if i will choose the right filter, and on Rollip, you will never see both side by side.
