"Edit photos and create designs with AI-powered tools — Photoshop-like editing online or offline, with cropping, filters, templates, and graphic design features for everyone."
Overview
Pixlr is a powerful web-based photo editing and graphic design suite that offers a range of features for both amateur and professional users, making subjectively simple or more advanced photo editing and design accessible to everyone. Founded in 2008, Pixlr is a cloud-based set of image editing tools and utilities, including AI image generation and enhancements, targeting users who require simple or advanced photo editing as well as graphic design. The platform offers three main tools: Pixlr X for quick edits (crop, remove background, add text), Pixlr E for advanced editing (similar to Photoshop with layers, filters, adjustments), and Pixlr Designer for marketing images with templates. Pixlr is compatible with various image formats like JPEG, PNG, WEBP, GIF, PSD (Photoshop Document), and PXZ (native Pixlr document format), and can be used on desktop and smartphones/tablets. The platform features a freemium business model with subscription plans (Plus, Premium, Teams), and in 2024 introduced AI-powered updates including AI image generation, AI infill, AI inpainting, and more. You can edit images smarter, faster, and easier from wherever, whenever, even offline with the desktop app.
