"Great editing software, online and free. "

5/5

What do you like best about Pixlr Express?

Pixlr Express is perfect for quick edits for web, print, and social media. It has a large selection of presets ranging from subtle to artistic. I love that you can combine images, overlay vectors, and add text and bordered as well. What's best abut it is that all of this can be done, online, on mobile, or even on their app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pixlr Express?

My biggest dislike is that the Pixlr Express software doesn't have an option or tool that removes items from a photo, like if you had unwanted people in the background or trash - that kind of thing. I also think that their "stickers" section which sometimes has holiday themes could do better with its themes, provide more options and allow for customization which it currently does not - other than placement and size. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Pixlr Express:

Great editing tools for those that aren't familiar with more involved tools Photoshop and Lightroom, so many presets that you can choose from and easy to correct small things like blemishes or shades. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It allows me to edit images for marketing and social media in a faster and more efficient way, plus it's free to use. But, since it lacks in a few customization tools, it doesn't serve as the only editing tool I use - but it is the easiest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Quick and dirty photo editing."

5/5

What do you like best about Pixlr Express?

The best part of this program is it's convenience. It's certainly not the most powerful photo editor, but for super simple edits, it get's the job done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pixlr Express?

For what it is, there's not much to dislike. It's nothing compared to photoshop, and has a lot of limitations when it comes to more subtle edits. However, for cropping, contrast adjustment, etc, on JPG's, it's perfectly usable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It makes cropping photos very easy. I can easily make any photo a perfect square for instagram posts. I also occasionally use it for slight exposure and contrast adjustments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"At a moments notice."

3.5/5

What do you like best about Pixlr Express?

I like that Pixlr Express has virtually every aspect of photo editing that Adobe Photoshop has and that it can all be accessed online. You can upload multiple images and edit each on seperate layers and also combine them. There are many formats you can save your project as. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pixlr Express?

What I dislike about the program is that it a bit hard to scale up or down using the drag to size box feature. Other then that I really like the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Pixlr Express:

I highly recommend this program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

When I am on the go.. have my files on hand (say on a USB drive) I can just access anywhere that has the internet and wifi and boom... I am in business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Awesome, but hard for beginners"

5/5

What do you like best about Pixlr Express?

There is a free version that has pretty good capabilities. It's pretty akin to photoshop, without the price tag. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pixlr Express?

It's not as intuitive as I'd like it to be - coming from someone with really no experience. Also, I seem to start and then get lost in the layers; it becomes unwieldy and hard to undo what I've done. I have yet to output exactly what I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Pixlr Express:

I absolutely think it's worth a try, especially for small biz, independent folks, and others who are just "dipping their toes" to see if they need an online photo editor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Quick graphics without having to run through our creative services department. These are often little graphics and images that are used in presentations, but need to be created, altered, or have some kind of effect added to them that can't be done in keynote.

"Pixlr Express: An Easy Edit Above Average"

3/5

What do you like best about Pixlr Express?

The simplified version with the more commonly used tools easily accessible. I do not do full edits on all my photos such as resizing and cropping, only when needed. I edit the image with blending, overlays and filters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
