"Click the "Like" button to get your tricked out Facebook photos!"
Nope. Closed the window, never going back. If I like your service, I'll tell my friends about it. I won't promote it just to try it out though.
(Yes, I saw the "Already liked us?" button. It doesn't negate the intent to spam people's timelines.)

You really should give an example of the steps and what things will look like.
I have no clue exactly what you're trying to do. My guess is to make the timeline look a bit fancy, but I can't tell. Your second step is to upload a photo without telling me what else to expect. If you ask for a credit card number in step 3, you already have my personal photo, which I have no clue what you'll do with.

It seems odd that you want something to go viral, but you explicitly request people not to share it without checking with you first.

took me a while to figure out what 'rip off' was (maybe call it 'torn bottom edge')

I had to come look at the comments here to figure out what this thing did. I'd suggest adding a red circle around the "ripped off" area to highlight what's actually happening.
I had to think way too hard to puzzle out "Two for One" was.
Don't ask me to like something before you've given it to me. Lame.
Swap the order of the steps: first I upload my photo, then let me toggle between effects.
Make the effect copy actionable. "Tear off the bottom edge" rather than "Rip Off". "Match my profile pic to my timeline photo" rather than "Two for one." Communication > cuteness.

Nice. You might want to give some more examples of what each setting does - as someone else mentioned, I wasn't sure what the "Rip Off" setting did.

I realize I'm not your target user-base, (I browse with no-script and don't own any social media accounts) but you should know that without javascript to load your fonts the default "cursive" font for most people is going to be (what appears to be) comic sans....

Nice, but I was just wondering are you keeping or dumping any images we upload? There's nothing in your terms relating to that. Not that I suspect you of anything nefarious, but it would be nice to see any (non)retention policy mentioned.

Why would you want this?

I uploaded a huge hi-res image, did the two-for-one, and the output images it gave me were horrible quality! What happened? Cool idea though.

Make it more obvious that the buttons are clickable. I couldn't figure out how to sign up.

Good luck with going viral. Let us know how did it do.

neat and simple - i like it! unfortunately I just changed my cover photo, so I'm gonna stick with it for a while.
