Great, Free Programs/Software/Add-Ons for PCs

By Kate Musgrove

The team here at RedFlagDeals.com spends a lot of time on their computers. A lot of time. Over the years we've come across some great free (of course they're free!) software/programs/add-ons that make our days just a little easier in one way or another. Here's a quick rundown of some of our favourites.

  • Paint.NET - super-easy and surprisingly robust photo editing software
  • Notepad++ - it's basically a highly evolved Notepad product with tons of added features
  • Free Studio - for simple video file conversion
  • Open Office - a great free replacement for MS Office
  • FileZilla - for easy FTP
  • Trillian - chat with friends on multiple clients from any device
  • CutePDF - convert documents from any Windows application to PDF
  • Dropbox - 2 GB of storage you can access from anywhere
  • FireShot - ultra-easy screenshot program for FireFox
  • UltraMon - a very easy way to manage work on multiple monitors (and I also use it between my desktop and my TV)
Do you have a favourite free computer program? We'd love to hear about it!
