Spotsaas Editor’s POV

Pixlr is a browser-based photo editor that works like a lighter version of Photoshop. The free tier includes layers, filters, and basic retouching tools—enough for social media graphics and quick edits. The paid plan ($9.99/month or $119.99/year) removes ads, adds cloud storage (100GB vs. 2GB free), and unlocks AI upscaling and background removal. Before ...Read more

Great free editor with the basics you need

What do you like best? I love how Pixlr is web-based (there is nothing to download). You can access their website anytime, anywhere. Also, FOR FREE! To me, this is absolutely mind-blowing. It essentially looks like Adobe Photoshop with the same symbols for the tools, which makes it very easy to start editing. Lasso tool, magic selection, they are all there. You can edit a photo with all of the standard tools from Photoshop, for free. I haven't tried their other products, but the editor ...

Fast and easy to use

What do you like best? The editor is super easy to use, you don’t have to be a graphic designer to use this software. The interface is amazing. The templates are cool and basic. The layer and mask features for advanced photo editing are the icing on the cake. We switched from Adobe Photoshop and I think we made a right choice. What do you dislike? They need to be on top of their tech support, but that’s acceptable. The only thing I don’t like about the software is the require ...
