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: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### 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 --- ### Easy Advanced Image Editing - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Justin K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Primary/ Secondary Education - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I have used it to modify photos and drawings. It is somewhat intuitive and provides lots of advanced tools for free. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I liked the ease of use. It very much mirrors Adobe products in its layout and gives lots of free editing options. #### Cons There's really nothing I didn't like about it. In fact, it looks like they've even added new AI options since I last signed in. #### Reasons for switching to Pixlr This was a free software that offered many of the low stakes tools that I needed for basic editing. --- ### It's ideal for quick image editing - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Ngala Emmanuel S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Graphic Design - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: September 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered For a free tool, it's not bad as it helps to accomplish quick image editing tasks. I won't really recommend it for advanced editing. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Pixlr has some features that can be admired and useful when it comes to image editing.- First and foremost, it's quite easy to use and also friendly in design quality.- secondly, It supports some of my favorite cloud integrations like Google Drive and Dropbox which I use more often for backing up my files.- It supports layers and masks, which are essential for advanced image editing, making it easier to apply changes and adjustments to images.- It's web-based and available in my native language (The English Language). #### Cons - It's very Limited Advanced Editing Features- Offers a low-quality Performance and Speed experience- Supports only a few file formats like JPEG and PNG which is great but not ideal for image editing in this fast-evolving era where technology is experiencing grammatical changes.- Only works online- --- ### My New Go-To Image Editing Platform - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Saharea A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: November 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. 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: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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 - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Ansh R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Automotive - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered 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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### 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. --- ### Basic but useful graphic creator and editor - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Nicole B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Writing and Editing - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered 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: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### 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. --- ### Pixlr-a great tool to onboard future graphic designers - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Brian J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I have an overall positive impression of Pixlr. It is well supported by how-to resources in print as well as on YouTube. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### 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. --- ### Editing Pixlr - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Anil C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 5001-10000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I used Pixlr for my editing photos and sharing it with social media accounts. Pixlr has many features inside but it is little bit expensive. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Editing with Pixlr is nice, the features inside there are many things that you can reach your horizon. #### Cons Pixlr is quite expensive when you compared to other kind of alternatives. #### Reasons for switching to Pixlr Adobe Photoshop is really expensive, it is the best tool for photo editing but the price is not convenient. --- ### On-the-move photo editing - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Information Technology and Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. 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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### 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. --- ### One of the best Web photo editors - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Pixlr X has often been my go-to tool when it comes to basic image editing tasks, mostly for Facebook posts. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### 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. --- Showing 1 - 10 of 119 Reviews [See All Reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/graphic-design/pixlr-profile/reviews/) ## Pixlr Popular Comparisons [Adobe Photoshop vs Pixlr](https://www.softwareadvice.com/graphic-design/adobe-photoshop-profile/vs/pixlr/)[Canva vs Pixlr](https://www.softwareadvice.com/graphic-design/canva-profile/vs/pixlr/)[Fotor vs Pixlr](https://www.softwareadvice.com/graphic-design/fotor-profile/vs/pixlr/)[PicMonkey vs Pixlr](https://www.softwareadvice.com/graphic-design/picmonkey-profile/vs/pixlr/)[PhotoScape X vs Pixlr](https://www.softwareadvice.com/graphic-design/photoscape-x-profile/vs/pixlr/)[Pixelmator Pro vs Pixlr](https://www.softwareadvice.com/graphic-design/pixelmator-pro-profile/vs/pixlr/)[Adobe Photoshop Elements vs Pixlr](https://www.softwareadvice.com/photo-editing/photoshop-elements-profile/vs/pixlr/) [Compare All Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/graphic-design/pixlr-profile/alternatives/) ## See what companies are saying about Software Advice
