Owner Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great free image editing program" February 11, 2022 4.0 Great free online photo editing software and easy to resize images for uploading onto my website. Pros I mainly use Pixlr as a way to quickly edit the file size of my images before uploading to my website as large images can slow down your webpages. If I need to do any other editing of my photos (such as cropping, adding text, or brightening the image), I can also do this right in Pixlr before saving. Cons Some of the editing features are more limited than in other programs I use (ex. adding text to images) so it's not my go to for all image editing. I prefer to edit images on my phone in the photo library or using Lightroom Mobile and add text using graphic design software on my computer with access to more fonts, etc. Review Source SH Sarah H.

Photoshop was very overwhelming to me at the time and Pixlr was a wonderful resource that gave non-designers like me the tools to spin up quick graphics in no time. Pros Pixlr offers excellent multi-purpose templates specifically designed for social media graphics and ads. There are so many variations with sizing and dimensions across all the social platforms (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest, etc) and Pixlr is an excellent tool that has a free option to adjust dimensions specific to your channel without having to be skilled in Photoshop. The Pixlr Marketplace is an excellent resource for content planning and creation and offers beautiful inspiration to our design team. The layouts are very modern and sophisticated and aren't too text-heavy, which is perfect for ad content, especially on Facebook and Instagram. Cons I often find that we have been using Canva more than Pixlr lately because Canva offers a much larger array of templates and the drag and drop features in Canva are a little easier to use. I wish Pixlr would have a better team dashboard where we can organize projects by client and assign various team members to each one. Alternatives considered [Canva](https://www.capterra.com/p/168956/Canva/) Reason for choosing Pixlr The free verison was unbeatable and offered the tools that I needed (as an inexperienced designer) and it was very easy to learn how to use them properly. There are also great tutorials available!

Pros Me gusta que ofrece una amplia gama de edición mas allá de los filtros, hay una gran cantidad de efectos ,marcos, collages, etc que puedes crear con esta herramienta así que creo que lo que mas me gusta es la variedad de ediciones que puedes alcanzar. Cons Lo que menos me gusta es que tiene demasiada publicidad, a veces estoy tratando de editar una foto o una imagen y constantemente estoy clickeando la publicidad, es bastante molesto.

Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Solid, but learning curved" February 24, 2021 4.0 It was great, but I transitioned for the most part. I keep it bookmarked just in case and have gone back a few times to solve some unique problems. My team just couldn't pick it up like I'd hoped. Pros Pixlr was my go to for years. It helped me manipulate, update, and fix so many things over the years. I appreciate that it's cloud based and the free version is effective. Cons It would never fail how often the deselect just would not work. It could have been user error, but so many times my magic wand would be stuck on for no apparent reason and I would have to toggle through programs and almost trick the program into letting me deselect highlighted areas of my project.

I have also used it extensively to work with mockups, also with good results. Pros Pixlr X is one of the most complete free web photo editing tools that I've used so far. It has all essential controls and a handy selection of pre-made filters. Cons Some tools like heal can be very slow and buggy, even in small images. Switched from [Mockup Editor](https://www.capterra.com/p/153760/Mockup-Editor/) Mockup Editor was mostly suitable for mockup scene composition and I ended up needing more control over the entire mockup image.

Campus Visit Program Assistant Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Pixlr is my Favorite" July 25, 2021 5.0 I absolutely love Pixlr and it is my go to software when I need to edit a quick photo or make a quick logo. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a software for photo editing. Pros Pixlr really shines in the fact that it is incredibly easy to use and has all the features you need without being too intimidating. Cons The only downside I have about Pixlr is that the ads can sometimes get in the way of the photo I am editing so it can get frustrating once in a while. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Digital Marketing Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "One of the best Web photo editors" August 25, 2020 4.0 Pixlr X has often been my go-to tool when it comes to basic image editing tasks, mostly for Facebook posts. Pros Probably the biggest advantage Pixlr X has is its simplicity. It provides an intuitive interface with most of the basic tools you'd need for simple editing tasks. You can use it immediately without even having to create an account. Cons It lacks some handy tools like clone and healing. Plus, it forces you to downsize large pictures. Switched from [Polarr](https://www.capterra.com/p/198209/Polarr/) I have found Polarr to be too limiting in terms of image editing features.

I find it much easier to use with better outputs than many other photo editors out there. It’s basically like Photoshop but without the Adobe price tag. Cons Pixlr does everything I need it to! It may be confusing at first for people who haven’t used Photoshop because it is so robust.

May 31, 2021 5.0 One of the best editing software I have used so far, it has helped me improve so much on the quality of my projects and make them seem very professional. HIGHLY recommended. Pros I love how you can use it anywhere you are since this software is available on almost any device, the amount of unique and useful tools this software provides in order to improve your projects, images, etc. without having to pay anything, all with a very intuitive design. Cons Since Pixlr is a free software, it has many advertisements, and unfortunately, they become a little bit annoying after several times you have used this software. But I guess that is the price you pay for such cool software. Review Source AM Anselme M. General director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Pixlr review " November 13, 2022 5.0 Pros The software is very easy to use and allows you to make very professional graphic images Cons The software sometimes closes on my computer for no reason. Review Source AP Anil P. Editor Entertainment Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Does the job" July 30, 2023 3.0 It is an okay experience to use it just for simple editing purposes and basic thumbnails For advanced and enhanced photo edits you have to take help from other platforms as well along with Pixlr. Pros I like the different types of templates that we can use for many purposes. We use it occasionally to make thumbnails for our videos and can find variety of templates to use. The UI is simple and understandable as well. Cons There are many limitations to it as compared to similar other platforms. Also it feels less professional overall as final edit needs to be done in Photoshop later. Review Source sÇ suzan Ç.

It's easy to use and does a great job! Pros Pixlr allows you to edit your photos almost professionally. It's easy to use and does a great job! Cons There could be a few more editing options and the graphic design features are insufficient. Review Source NS Nicholas S. SEO Manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great photoshop alternative" June 11, 2021 5.0 Pros I haven't had access to photoshop in a few years, and I don't especially miss it because of Pixlr. I'm not exactly an advanced user of graphic design products, so I can't speak to that level... But for basic image editing and creation, this gets the job done. Cons It's a web app and it shows. Some keyboard shortcuts don't work the way you'd expect. Also, the interface has some weird quirks that make it slightly less intuitive than Photoshop. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Social Media Specialist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good online photo editor " August 19, 2020 4.0 I have used Pixlr X to quickly edit images which don't need advanced changes. Pros Pixlr is very convenient - it loads up very fast and in a few clicks I can get an edited image ready to go - when the image only needs some basic changes. Cons There's only so much you can do with Pixlr X. It comes short in offering more advanced features that should be included, so it will not be suitable for more advanced editing tasks.
