### "New features "

December 4, 2022

5.0

Pixlr is nice, but the uselessness of the app persuaded me to find something else. I don't like using web based/browser versions in most cases.

Pros

Pixlr includes Pixlr E, Pixlr X, Photomash, Remove Background, and Batch editor. All one needs to edit photos and create cards, posts, and such.Thank you cards are a new addition that I thoroughly enjoy. Pixlr is available to you via the classic web browser version or a downloaded application.

Cons

Pixlr has a decent library with some quality content, but it's not as large as others. Unfortunately, size does matter sometimes! Like most, the free version doesn't include the features I actually use and need. The app is bombarded with advertisements and rather frustrating.

### "A practical, lightweight and powerful photo editor"

October 12, 2022

4.0

I find Pixlr to be one of the best photo editors you can find on the market. In addition to being cross-platform, it has features that make it powerful, yet practical and lightweight. Its web version, both desktop and mobile, work smoothly and have all the editing tools you can imagine. The interface is also very well organized and this makes the software easy to use. What I like most of all the features Pixlr has are the layered editing and the AI-based background separation of images. I can't criticize this software too much, I just wish they would keep constantly updating the great templates it offers.

Pros

Definitely what I liked most about this software is the possibility of having a layered edition, like the most advanced photography software. In addition, it has novel functions that also work really well, such as the removal of the background of the images through artificial intelligence. And finally, the multiple templates offered by Pixlr deserve a special mention.

Cons

I have not disliked anything about this software, but maybe they could update the design of its interface, which is not bad because it is very well organized, but maybe it could be improved in terms of its colors, or they could also add a switch to change from a "dark mode" to a "light mode".

### "Edición de imágenes para páginas web"

October 19, 2022

5.0

Es un editor de imágenes perfecto para preparar fotos para acompañar a los textos de un artículo de un blog o sitio web. La versión gratuita es muy completa y dispone de plantillas para facilitar la creación de contenido.

Pros

Permite manejar las imágenes con capas para crear efectos y filtros muy buenos y el resultado se puede guardar en formatos compatibles para optimizar la carga de imágenes en sitios web como .webp

Cons

Faltan algunos formatos de imágenes que permitan guarda la imagen sin comprimir, como tiff o formatos encapsulados postscript.

### "Shifting how my brain works"

September 14, 2020

5.0

My brain is very verbal, I prefer to work with words. In the modern world visuals, colourful graphics and memes are a primary form of communication, and I have needed to move and learn in order to keep up and appeal to prospects. Pixlr X has let me do this, and I am convinced the images I have created with it have facilitated many new client relationships -- most especially with people under 40.

Pros

I use Pixlr X a lot, and I am still finding new features and discovering shortcuts that make continued use simpler and the results more varied. I have zero background in graphics or visual arts, and Pixlr X helps me to create appealing memes to use in my marketing on Twitter and FaceBook and on my website.

Cons

The Pixlr X software is fine; I have been annoyed with my own inabilities to see what is directly in front of me. Features such as resizing can be done from several different places within the flow of use, and having found one I reused it over and over for months before noticing that I could do it in the save-screen and eliminate that extra step. Learning all the time!

### "Cost & Time Saving - Very useful "photoshop-like" web tool"

August 10, 2021

5.0

Pros

Generally easy to use & quite reliable. For a web-based program, it's quite stable & usable. I use it nearly daily for client work

Cons

It would be nice to have some additional features native to the application and improvements on the magic wand selector

### "Pixlr E / Pixlr X - The best, FREE, photo-editing software"

March 23, 2020

4.0

Considering that Pixlr X is FREE to use, this is a supreme value for the functions it offers.

Pros

I do believe the magic wand tool has improved significantly, as prior, I would often still be left with white outlines, which were tedious to delete. Overall, I am satisfied with Pixlr, and I appreciate that they offer such a high-quality program, free-of-charge.

Cons

I preferred the original Pixlr Editor, due to the ease in recognizing which icon was for which tool, the size and format of the layering map, and the ability to move between files more readily. Prior, you could select the destination for the saved file; now it defaults to "downloads", and then you have to move them. I believe the previous format was more understandable, and contained icons which were universally understood.

Amo este software, lo uso sobre todo para editar las fotos de mis redes sociales y emprendimiento cuando necesito rapidez y agilidad en este proceso. Estoy muy contenta y me encanta, principalmente las animaciones y la herramienta capas.

Cons

No hay nada que me desagrade, de hecho es uno de mis softwares favoritos.

### "Intuitive by Design!"

January 7, 2022

5.0

Pros

I've used Pixlr X for for a while and found it very intuitive and actually beautiful! The interface kept updating and improving over time, and new features like AI cutout are very useful.

Cons

I noticed that some of the more advanced features are exclusive to premium members, but the fact that the free version is already supported with ads makes me think that it could be huge improvement for Pixlr if the free version get to keep the same features as the premium except displaying ads, this can attract much more free users which in turn will translate to higher income originating from the free version, while giving UX significant boost.

### "Lightweight and powerful browser-based editor"

December 5, 2022

5.0

Pixlr is absolutely ideal for almost all image editing tasks without needing to download any expensive software, and able to be used across endless multiple devices. It is lightweight and easy to use and gives great results without getting bogged down in complicated user interfaces or sluggish tools.

Pros

Pixlr is a full featured editor that runs smoothly in most browsers, which makes it incredibly easy to create, edit and export images on the go.

Cons

It is only possible to edit the top layer of any image, which means you need to be constantly switching layers around, which sometimes means you're having to make changes witohut being able to view your whole design.

### "Un Tool di Photo Editing eccezionale e semplice"

July 23, 2021

4.0

Uno dei migliori software di editing che ho usato finora, perché mi ha aiutato a migliorare i miei progetti e a farli sembrare molto professionali. Inoltre riesco a ridimensionare le foto per renderle del peso e formato adatto al mio blog senza perdere la qualità.

Pros

Pixlr è molto comodo poiché puoi usarlo ovunque tu sia, essendo disponibile su quasi tutti i dispositivi. Ha tantissime funzionalità e strumenti utili per migliorare i progetti, immagini, foto, con un design intuitivo.

Cons

Ci sono molte pubblicità e a volte rallenta, ma credo che guardare qualche spot sia il minimo per poter usare il software gratuitamente.

Pixlr is good for the person, who is new to the photo editing skills. For basic level editing, it is of best use and cost effective.

### "Great photoshop free alternative and graphic design tool"

February 23, 2022

5.0

All in all, a great tool for everyday photo editing and social posts.

Pros

The photo editing capabilities of pixlr are comparable to photoshop, but I love that it's web based and has a free version. It's really easy to use. They have some really attractive templates as well for simple graphic design (mostly social media posts).

Cons

I feel like the templates are limited and more difficult to navigate than say, Canva. Also, inevitably you have to be prepared for things to be laid out/work a little different than Photoshop.

Overall the application does its job decently. Maybe other applications have more advanced features, but Pixlr does the basics very well with a more friendly and light-weight UI.

Pros

\- Relatively easy to use- Contains the basics- Light-weight editing application- Website implementation.

Cons

I would say the application is still in development, given some constant changes to some features such as naming saved files.
