"Pixlr Editor Review"

5/5

What do you like best about Pixlr Editor?

Pixlr is a really good tool that I've found myself a lot more and more recently because of its ease of access and availability. Pixlr is quite expensive when you compared to other kind of alternatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pixlr Editor?

All of it everytime I try to use it, it freezes a lot of bugs happen. Bad for business i'm a business man. This could be better by making more changes than usual. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Solution For Quick Editing"

4/5

What do you like best about Pixlr Editor?

It's easy to use and I like that. The loading time is fast, unlike other software. I really like the functions for removing the background and for replacing colours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pixlr Editor?

Some glitches remain to be fixed. For example, the automatic background removal tool. My guess is that the developers are working on fixing the bugs, and I'm willing to wait for them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Hats off! To the creators."

4.5/5

What do you like best about Pixlr Editor?

Pixlr lets you fix, contrast, exposure and lots of things, but that's just the basic, the dehaze and noise reduction is magnificent, it's really simple and cool compared to other Editors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pixlr Editor?

Few features are paid, everything ain't free, Pixlr is already cool enough but more cooler things are not free like bokeh and stickers, text templates, it would have been better if it's completely free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Pixlr is a fantastic Photoshop alternative."

4/5

What do you like best about Pixlr Editor?

It's a great piece of software to layer images and edit on the go, in a hurry or do a full picture edit, save your place and quickly pick back up minutes later. It's intuitive, easy to understand and ensures that you can easily save your place and pick back up later. That's hugely invaluable as I jump in and out of different software programs multiple times a day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pixlr Editor?

There isn't much to dislike but the new export options are redesigned and less intuitive overall. I'd like to see there be additional options to export so you can control the size of the image and not just the photo type (JPG, PNG, etc.). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Pixlr Editor:

I'd give Pixlr a long hard look when you consider your photo editing needs, especially if you don't need the monthly or large up front cost of a tool like Photoshop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pixlr Editor solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having a tool like Pixlr ensures that I don't need to worry about expensive Photoshop installs. Photoshop isn't a necessity for my work but a photo editing tool is and Pixlr not only fills the gap of Photoshop but does so at a cost which is fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great free image editor with a good set of advanced features"

5/5

What do you like best about Pixlr Editor?

I love that it is a web-based image editor I can access easily anywhere with a complete set of features easy to use and understand. It offers advanced options for image composition with layers, and we can export/save in different image formats and PDF too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pixlr Editor?

I don't use Pixlr for images that I need in larger dimensions to print in high resolution. We are limited in the image size file we can upload and edit, so it is not my app choice in those cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Pixlr replace my Affinity Photo and Adobe Photoshop on the fly"

5/5

What do you like best about Pixlr Editor?

I was looking to replace Affinity Photo and Adobe Photoshop for use freely from the cloud. Once I realize that Pixlr offer this, I just bought it. It's fantastic cloud based photo editor with fantastic overlay elements, filters, AI-based background removal tool and very well developed, mature and constantly updated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pixlr Editor?

Is hard to say what I don't like, but the product does not come with cloud based storage, so if I clear the browser cache all uploaded assets are gone. I hope they will add this soon. apart from that, everything is perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pixlr Editor solving and how is that benefiting you?

Pixlr is a package of three products: Pixlr X, Pixlr E and Background removal tool as separate cloud app. Version E is more advanced and I am using it. Version X is with more basic options for quick and fast photo collages for beginners. Remove BG surprise me because there no file size limit which is great. I manage to upload photo on very high resolution and remove the background without losing the size. Other competitor limit the file size ( up to 16 or 20MB) and respectively you cannot work with high res photos. Using them to adjust the photo contrast or color balance, remove the background and make the object with a transparent background for future design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
