Whether it's a hobby or career, you've likely tried your hand at photo editing once or twice. If you did, you probably encountered the main issue of software price, possibly even resigning at that point. Why not take up the challenge and try out this free, browser-based service? You can edit your pictures without a pesky download or high price tag.
Something you’ll love is the familiar interface. Pixlr looks and feels similar to Adobe Photoshop, Gimp, and other similar alternatives. But, regardless of how similar it is, it’s not photoshop and far from enough for professionals. But, the convenience of using it from any browser make it stand out.
Somehow, the service finds a way to create an easy environment for beginners. Pixlr takes your hand and helps you learn as you go. If you sink in a small amount of time every day, you'll start developing the skills to make masterpieces. There are tutorials readily available on YouTube.
Be warned though, there is no pen tool within the editor. You won't be able to draw on the picture to outline or point to specific areas. To do this, you'll need to use additional software such as MS Paint or Krita. The application still works great without this feature, though.
Is there a better alternative?
Yes. Photoshop will always be one of the best photo editing software available, but it is not a cheap option. For a pen tool and some photo effects you should try out Krita.
Where can you run this program?
Pixlr Editor runs on Chrome browsers for Windows XP and later. It’s also available on Android and Mac devices.
Our take
It’s great for its portability between devices. Pixlr Editor is an above par choice for anyone needing a photo editor.
Should you download it?
