4 Kissworthy Digital Valentines

Looking for easy ways to turn a photo or a video into a kissworthy valentine? Forget the scissors, doilies and glue — instead, turn to these sites and apps for digital decorations.

PicMonkey, a free photo-editing website, has posted a slew of Valentine-themed effects, including heart cutouts, bokeh hearts (a spin on the familiar blurred light effect loved by  photographers ) and "ombred" tints that add a wash of color that starts out light and ends in a deeper shade of pink. PicMonkey also includes tips on spot tinting and using two-color overlays.

Jollyfy, a free video make-and-share app for iPhone and iPad, has added a suite of Valentine's Day themes that can be applied to your videos. Pining to be on a Jumbotron's kiss cam? Jollyfy has a frame for that, along with a theme that puts your video into a billboard on  Times Square . Jollyfy videos can be up to 2 minutes long and shared to Facebook friends or by email.
