Pixlr - The best tool for editing images without complicating your life.

Pixlr is a completely free image editor created for designers, photographers, and influencers. It is a very easy to use tool that includes a whole range of functions perfectly integrated into an intuitive image editing panel.

The program is available for both Windows and Mac, and can also be used through a web version that does not require installation. The tool works similarly to editing programs like Adobe Photoshop or GIMP.

Multiple functions combined in a very simple interface

Pixlr is an editing software that allows you to remove backgrounds, crop photos, add effects, borders, overlays, and much more. You can even use the retouching function to quickly edit images.

The Pixlr interface is very intuitive. The left side displays movable panels for editing tools, layer previews, and other functions, which can be easily adjusted to your editing preferences. In addition to the panels, the program includes a history tool that allows you to navigate through your actions and undo or redo your edits.

The program also allows you to automatically edit all aspects of any uploaded image with the quick correction function. If you edit images manually, you can adjust colors, add exposure and borders, and view layers of your edits with the overlay function.

As if that wasn't enough, Pixlr also allows you to remove red eyes from images, add vibrancy or blur, and get rid of different sections of the background if you don't want them to appear in your photos.

Effects, overlays, and much more

Pixlr includes a multitude of functions for editing images. To start, it offers a series of effects that you can add to your images using the Default Effects function or by using the Creative, Subtle, Soft, Monochrome, Vintage, and Very Old buttons. Each category contains more than ten additional effects with extravagant names like Hagrid, Helena, Fred, etc.

Similar to effects, the program offers a range of overlay options with various categories. If you're a beginner, you can start with the Default Overlay category and make changes to your image. However, you also have other overlay options such as Fireworks, Smoke, Light Paintings, Color Correction, Space, and much more.

Want to add text to your images? Pixlr has got you covered. You can choose the font used, increase the text size, explore different styles using the editing panels, or even change the text color according to your needs. With the help of this function, you can effortlessly create invitations, posters, website images, as well as banners for your social media profiles.

Compatible with Windows 11

If you are looking for a free photo editing tool that has many image editing functions and is easy to use, Pixlr is what you are looking for. The program has a multitude of functions, including effects, overlays, background removal, and automatic editing.

To install Pixlr on Windows, you will need to use Windows 7 or a higher version, including Windows 11. Whether you are a novice user or an editing expert, Pixlr is a great choice for editing images.
