### "Pixlr is a good alternative of Photoshop and other professional design software"

September 30, 2020

5.0

Very useful tool for small business owner and one man show businesses. I like the interface which is similar to photoshop.

Pros

I like web-based tools. Without need of installation and ugly registration form. I use a basic option for image editing and it is a great solution for my small business.

Cons

When we talk about free tool there's always something it's not a perfect. But there is no significant cons.

Reason for choosing Pixlr

Good and free photoshop alternative directly into your browser

### "Help those without Photoshop"

January 18, 2024

4.0

Being able to use a tool that is less complicated than photoshop.

Pros

It is very good at processing images, its web version works in any browser, making it an efficient alternative to Adobe Photoshop and other programs in the category.

Cons

A negative point is the impossibility of changing details such as the contrast and brightness of the photos.

### "Pixlr"

January 22, 2021

3.0

As I mentioned, it's really good for students and begginers of photography. I would recommend it to friends and colleagues, it does its job, it's good, it's an alternative. But I wouldn't use it if I were a professional and could afford it.

Pros

It's a free alternative of Photoshop and Lightroom from Adobe. It's very good for when you're learning editing and about all the options you can have when retouching a picture.

Cons

It's not close enough to photoshop and lightroom, I feel like it could have many, many more options and better final quality. Better offers for professionals who look for cheaper options than Adobe's.

### "Great product! but needs a little work"

February 27, 2020

4.0

Overall, I really like Pixlr's photo editing abilities! They need to fix some glitches, however.

Pros

I really like the Pixlr interface and the ease of use! I think the quality of the editing options is some of the best I've seen.

Cons

Pixlr needs to work on it's tech support and keep up with it's website better. There are some options, like straightening photos, that consistently glitch.

### "Very useful app for specific purposes"

April 30, 2021

4.0

Positive overall, but I think some new niche tools would be helpful!

Pros

It's collage features are really useful and a step above other programs I've used for this. Lots of options!

Cons

Some of the other features and effects offered seem to be "filler" and clutter up the UX, in my opinion.
