I like that I can choose from templates available for me; I don't have to start from a stretch when I am not feeling creative.

The online editor is very slow, and the offline one doesn't have some of the functions of the online editor. The effects are not the same on the editors. I tryied uploading a raw file in the offline editor and it didnt work. I have a d750 camera. Maybe it...

The tools are all familiar (very similar to Photoshop) and it has a user-friendly interface.

There are more than a few ads in the UI and that can make the experience clunky and inaccessible at some times, and the icons can feel small sometimes

Pixlr is mainly for editing photos on your phone. So subtle tweaks for a selfie or group shot. 3D graphics may be too intense for this phone app.Read more
