I am not a Photoshop power user, so most features are not needed. The price of Pixlr is unbeatable. And it is super simple. It is easier than Gimp.
Pros: This is the best value. Only $2.49/month for Plus. Online version that works on any platform. Does everything I need.
Cons: Not as many features as Photoshop. FIlters like Instagram would be nice. Pixlr doesn't have many cons.
Jason B. · CEO · Marketing and Advertising · February 26, 2026
Pros: It was cheap? not really sure that is a selling feature. it did not work or do what i expected. only used it for about 3 minutes.
Cons: They autobill on 1 year subscriptions without emails about upcoming renewals, then have a policy to not allow refunds. This is a scam these people in apps know. They know that people that have a 1 year membership will forget they have it. The know they can get at least 1 extra years money out of it. How hard would it be to program an email reminder that you have a renewal upcoming? But they do not care, but cause if they know you are going to cancel anyway, they would rather take the money and leave you pissed off.

Overall, Pixlr is a decent photo editing software. It's not the most powerful tool out there, but it gets the job done for basic editing needs.
Pros: Pixlr is fairly easy to use, even for beginners. It has a user-friendly interface and a good selection of basic editing tools. It's also a web-based application, so you don't need to download or install anything.
Cons: It can be a bit slow at times, especially when working with larger images.

I have used it to modify photos and drawings. It is somewhat intuitive and provides lots of advanced tools for free.
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.

I put in prompts that do not seem to be understood. I use negative prompts to avoid the constant dismissal of the prompts I'm trying to create and it just keeps reproducing similar images to the ones that do not match my prompts. I will state the subject has blonde hair and it provides brunettes. I state a body type as plump or full figured or heavy set, chubby, or fat and it produces skinny barbie type models. I prompt a style of clothing such as an 18th century dress with apron and it produces short mini skirts. Pixlr seems to only be capable of producing provocative type subjects rather than realist looking models, like REAL people. I choose a cinematic style and it produces a cartoon like look, painted even. I have the free version and it is garbage, I wouldn't pay to upgrade since it can't handle the simplest prompts. Playground ai, is 100% better.
Pros: Nothing at all. It is terrible garbage..
Cons: Its inability to function as advertised.
Sandra H. · Customer · Arts and Crafts · December 6, 2024
To be honest, I don't know where these 5 stars reviews come from, they're either paid or users that didn't try the AI capabilities
Pros: Ease to use Friendy user interface Easy to suscribe
Cons: IA tools are quite bad, never work when you try to delete or generate something App doesn't generate variations from editing Quite slow, takes like 1 minute to generate or delete something

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.
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.
Nicole B. · Book Coach and Editor · Writing and Editing · August 30, 2024
I started calmly with the free version over 5 years ago, the free version is already excellent, after adding the daily download limitation about 2/3 years ago, I started using the paid version which is excellent. It is worth it!
Pros: It's very simple to use, you don't need to be a designer to start editing images. The web version is excellent, however they have a desktop version that also helps a lot. I've been using it for years to edit images. I use it a lot to convert photos from different formats and high quality to the WEBP format for the websites I develop.
Cons: I don't have aspects that I noticed that could be improved, maybe they have templates for different businesses and improve the stock images.
Divaldo C. · CEO · Consumer Services · June 7, 2024
This is a great, low-cost product that is easy to use. I recommend it for every toolbox.
Pros: It is easy to create digital art using this product and there are new features being introduced all the time like generative AI.
Cons: Sometimes it is not apparent what I need to do to execute a function and it take additional time to find out how the feature/function works. I do a lot of experimenting to learn how to use the features.
Eric B. · Owner · Arts and Crafts · May 13, 2024
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.
LUIZ D. · Chef · Restaurants · January 18, 2024
Pixlr is a very simple and useful online editor. I use it for more casual projects.
Pros: Pixlr runs very efficiently and smooth as an online editor. The load times are very quick. There are very useful AI tools to edit your images.
Cons: It may not be as professional as other software out there but it is still very good for more casual projects.
Micalen R. · Freelancer · Computer Games · January 7, 2024
Pros: The most part I like about pixlr is that you can use so many tools to edit your picture.
Cons: The least part of pixlr is that I don't have a least part of pixlr.
Fotimakhon M. · Babysitting · Entertainment · December 14, 2023
Pros: Parfait outils pour developper modifier des images
Cons: Ne prend en charge que quelques formats de fichiers comme JPEG et PNG, ce qui est excellent mais pas idéal pour l'édition d'images dans cette ère en évolution rapide où la technologie connaît des changements
Mallorie A. · Bookeuse · Performing Arts · December 10, 2023
C'est l'un des meilleurs logiciels de retouche photo dans le monde actuel
Pros: La simplicité et l'efficacité de logiciel Pixlr
Cons: Parfait, logiciel Pixlr se plante en plein session de travail de retouche
Mohamed Ibrahim D. · Administrateur · Arts and Crafts · November 17, 2023
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.
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-
Ngala Emmanuel S. · Web Design · Graphic Design · September 21, 2023
Overall, am glad I discovered Pixlr. It has been a huge help for me for basic to intermediate photo editing needs on the go but when I need more advanced photo editing, I always turn to my normal advanced photo editing application like photoshop installed on my machine.
Pros: - I have used Pixlr for quit a while now. It is a simple photo editing option that can easily be accessed via the browser. I like that I can access it from any computer with an internet connection through a browser. If you have worked with Photoshop before, then using Pixlr will be an easy and straightforward experience. Even for new users, using Pixlr is quite simple, the interface quite literally tells you exactly what you need. - I use it for quick and simple edit photos when am on the go, and so far it has never really disappointed me. The service is quite reliable and always up. I have never experienced a downtime so far.
Cons: - Well, at the end of the day Pixlr will never be as advanced as Photoshop. There are some advanced features and functionalities that you cannot find in Pixlr but are in Photoshop. An example of this is, the ability to detect and change the background color of a photo.
George O. · Program Advisor · Nanotechnology · September 18, 2023
Pros: Very nice online photo imaging and editing
Cons: Challenging at times but works well for many things.
Nicholas W. · Design engineer · Medical Devices · September 13, 2023
Pros: Wahoou. That's great is Pixlr. I recommend this great app. It's perfect to edit your image.
Cons: I like AI power in this app. It has good way like many professional graphic design software
Denis K. · Graphic designer · Graphic Design · August 12, 2023
Pixlr is a decent photo editing service. It is good for quick edits and basic enhancing of photos. If you need advanced functionalities, you might want to invest in either the premium version or another advanced software.
Pros: Pixlr is photo editing app that I can access both through the web and mobile for basic and intermediate photo editing needs. I find it easy to use and it provides a free version which is pretty sufficient for users who cannot afford the premium version or expensive photo editing software like Photoshop.You do not need to install any software on your machine to start using the app as the web version is readily available with an internet connection. It provides most of the basic photo editing features including cropping, resizing, adding of layers etc.It also has an awesome photo collage functionality for combining a number of photos.
Cons: 1. During peek hours, pixlr web can be slow.2. If you need advanced photo editing, you might be forced to invest in a more robust photo editing softwar like photoshop
Gordon S. · Software Developer · Telecommunications · August 7, 2023
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.
Anil P. · Editor · Entertainment · July 30, 2023
A simple and great option for editing photos on the go!
Pros: Pixlr is so far my best online photo editing applications. I can easily access it through my browser without having to download and install any application on my computer. It pretty much helps me do everything I would do with a more complex and advanced application like Photoshop. I would say it is also pretty easy to use. I don't think any one would require much training to get started and do basic things with pixlr. All the basic editing functionalities like cropping, rotating, resizing, color adjustments etc are available in Pixlr. Pixlr also supports a variety of image formats from PNG, JPEG and TIFF and can is accessible even via android and IOS mobiles apps
Cons: I do not have anything I do not like about Pixlr but obviously, if I needed more complex photo effects and edits, I would probably need to install a complex and more advanced application like Photoshop.
Caroline M. · SAP B1 Consultant · Accounting · July 12, 2023

Tiago M. · Owner · Facilities Services · July 10, 2023
Usa para editar fotos rapidamente para postar em meus stories assim não perco tempo enviando fotos para o PC e sem perder qualidade. A ferramentas de edição são fáceis de manejar.
Pros: O que mais gosto é a qualidade que as fotos ficam após a edição que eu poderia até revelar as fotos em alta qualidade.
Cons: A ferramenta de correção poderia ser mais fácil de usar
Alan Smyth S. · Fotógrafo · Photography · June 26, 2023
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.
Gabriel P. · Student · Computer Software · May 22, 2023
I have an overall positive impression of Pixlr. It is well supported by how-to resources in print as well as on YouTube.
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.
