I can't believe it's free!

What do you like best? I love how intuitive the tools are. Take the burn tool, for example. I've been designing my own tattoos and the burn tool is great for shading! The Spot Heal is extremely effective at removing blemishes. Great for profile photos. The Paint Bucket early finds borders and can completely change the color of walls (which came in handy when I was having my dining room painted). The magic wand is truly magic, because you can adjust the tolerance level to fine tune exactly ...

Great cloud app

What do you like best? I have been using Pixlr for 1 year and 7 months, in all this time I have edited hundreds of images to add texts, cut images, apply filters etc ... and Pixlr has always responded to my expectations correctly and professionally. Technically it is a powerful application to be programmed in flash (although this part has its negative points as explained below) and allows to do many things that until now were only available for desktop applications. Another thing ...

Great online editor

What do you like best? What I like most about Pixlr is the ease of editing pictures in the cloud, mainly using Pixlr for quick editing of images such as adding text, cropping, resizing or applying filters to photos. Technically the application is very simple and visually beautiful, it allows you to make the most basic retouching in a simple way which is very useful if you are not fond of editing. I will summarize what I liked best about Pixlr below: - The basic image editing is very ...

Pixlr Review

What do you like best? Pixlr is a nice alternative to the more expensive creative suites. What do you dislike? The quality of the photos is not as high quality as expected. Controls/buttons could be more user friendly. Recommendations to others considering the product: Highly recommend. Give it a chance. Much cheaper alternative to photoshop. I'm not the type of person to highly recommend a product but i'm a fan of Pixlr! What problems are you solving with the product? What ...

Great free online tool for designers

What do you like best? Pixlr's free features allow those who are unable to access other design programs to create similar if not better graphics for their organization. What do you dislike? Because it is an online software attempting to recreate the features of more advanced programs, it can sometimes be slow or laggy. Recommendations to others considering the product: Take your time with inputting photos, text, and illustrations, because sometimes it takes patience to get ...

I just love Pixlr! This user interface is amazing!

What do you like best? Best free online image editor!!! Pixlr is pretty like Photoshop, but it's online and absolutely free of malwares. The only dfficulty is to find it! Its name is a little bit hard to remember, but whatever. What do you dislike? No dislike for me I am happy with the Pixlr. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Can do (almost) anything Photoshop can do but it's free and in your browser.

Pixlr is the BEST!

What do you like best? I like the fact that pixlr is free and easy to use the best! No matter how much experience you have with photo editing software, pixlr makes it extremely easy to utilize their tools and filters. What do you dislike? i Dislike the fact that pixlr primarily works as an add on extension (flash-based) for browsers rather than being its on individual software program. Recommendations to others considering the product: Download this plug in! What problems are ...

A fun and interesting program with an easy learning curve

What do you like best? I think what i like best is the fact that i actually used this program back when i was younger, when i was first dabbling in digital art and photo manipulation and it was easy and fun to use, and i didn't need to download it or the new brushes! What do you dislike? I think what I don't like about this program is that there's not enough programs, it's a bit laggy on my computer (although, my computer is old so...), and that's about it. Recommendations to ...
