A Handy Tool for Specific Photo Editing Tasks

I use Pixlr in my web browser maybe 6 to 12 times a year when I need to do specific photo editing tasks (explained in the "Pros" section). For those occasions, I have not found a basic tool that does what I need, and I don't want to open an actual sophisticated software like Photoshop. In those instances, popping into Pixlr (which I have bookmarked) has been so quick and easy. Since I use other tools for graphic design, taking the time to learn those features in Pixlr - or to pay for Pixlr premium - doesn't make sense for me.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

I can use the free version of Pixlr in my web browser without even creating an account. Sometimes all I need is to crop or resize a photo or add a filter, and Pixlr quickly and easily does the trick. In fact, if you're uploading a really large image, Pixlr will give you a couple standard options for loading into the editor in a smaller size, such as full HD or smaller for the web. When you're done with whatever edits you wanted, in the Save/Download dialogue you again get options for adjusting the file size and dimensions. Often reducing the quality even just to 90% saves you a lot on file size while still giving you sufficient quality for your purposes.

Cons:

The Pixlr developers seem to periodically modify the interface slightly and where certain options are located. Since I don't use Pixlr that frequently, sometimes I feel a little lost when opening the app after a gap. It takes me bit of extra time to find my way around again. Also, in the free version you have to deal with ads popping up. Some are in the sidebar, but sometimes you have to close ones that cover part of the editing interface. Both these "cons" can be a bit annoying. But I totally understand and put up with them since I don't need Pixlr so often

Basic but useful graphic creator and editor

I use Pixlr to make things like banners and graphics or to crop an image quickly from my desktop. I've used it casually for years, and it's mostly pretty easy to navigate. I've always been happy with the results and I like that I don't have to have an account to use it.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

Pixlr is a great browser-based photo editor with many of the same functionalities as Photoshop, at a much lower cost with a free level as well. There's a learning curve to using it, but it's a handy tool for quick edits and graphic creation.

Cons:

There didn't use to be a limit on how many images you can save at the free level, but now it's only five per day, which is difficult if you're testing different sizes, layouts etc. For someone who isn't familiar with the tools and what they do, it can be difficult to learn.

Reasons for switching to Pixlr

100% because of the cost. Photoshop is too expensive and I don't like that it's subscription-based now.

My New Go-To Image Editing Platform

My overall experience with Pixlr has been delightful. I would recommend the service to anyone looking for simply and easy to use image editing tool. Having said that, I am not a graphic designer and I imagine the tool cannot really compare with dedicated programs like Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Value for money

Functionality

Pros:

I enjoyed the speed with which I was able to upload, edit, and export my images. The user interface was intuitive and forgiving for my needs. The ability to export images in various file formats was critical for my project. I have bookmarked the platform on my browser for all my future image editing needs.

Cons:

For my project requirements, the service was more than sufficient. There were many features I simply did not need. One suggestion I may have is greater transparency on what happens to images we upload onto the platform. Reassurances on data privacy and security regarding image files would be a great plus.

Reasons for choosing Pixlr

The user interface was a lot more intuitive than MS Windows' native image editing software.

Best app to edit photos

The experience was great with pixlr the app is easy to use and understand. I have done lots of image editing through pixlr and posted them on my business social media pages. This has resulted in boosting our overall customer engagement and turnover. Working on pixlr was always fun and productive for me and I will recommend it to everyone who needs fast results.

Functionality

Pros:

The app is user-friendly and has multiple tools for editing images. Spot whitening and darkening are one of my favourite tools for editing photos. It has also an automatic mode for editing images in which the app itself edits the given images. Anyone with little creativity can bring some great results after working on pixlr.

Cons:

The only thing it disliked about the app is its filters. They seem quite average and old. Pixlr need to update them as soon as possible. The tools available on the pixlr are limited and you cannot do premium-level editing with multiple tools on it.

Reasons for switching to Pixlr

Because it gave me the premium level results which pixlr failed to give.

Functionality

Pros:

I like how easy it is to use and the pop ups on the features make the learning curve low. I teach my student aides how to use it. The similar functionality to Photoshop makes it a good "fit".

Cons:

I was easily able to integrate it into my instruction with students. It would be a good tool to teach basic photo editing skills that could be a nice sedgeway into using more advanced photo editing toools.

Reasons for switching to Pixlr

Pixlr did not have the same issues with downloading that GIMP does (Chromebook integration) since it was web based.

On-the-move photo editing

I turn to Pixlr X whenever I need a quick photo edit and the tool delivers most of the time. 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.

Reasons for switching to Pixlr

Mockup Editor was mostly suitable for mockup scene composition and I ended up needing more control over the entire mockup image.

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.

Reasons for switching to Pixlr

I have found Polarr to be too limiting in terms of image editing features.
