Pixlr is a cloud-based set of image editing tools and utilities, including a number of photo editors and a photo sharing service. It was acquired by Autodesk in 2011. The suite is intended from the range of simple to advanced photo editing.[1] It features three subscription plans which include Free, Premium and Creative Pack.

The platform can be used on desktop and also smartphones and tablets.[2] Pixlr is compatible with various image formats such as JPEG, PNG, WEBP, GIF, PSD (Photoshop Document) and PXZ (native Pixlr document format).[3]

The platform introduced more features in December 2021 with a new logo and added tools which include; Brushes, Heal tool, Animation, and Batch upload.[4] The brush feature enables the creation of hand-drawn effects. The Heal tool allows users to remove unwanted objects from their images[5] whereas the Animation feature can be used to include movements into their edits.[6] Users can also utilize Batch upload to edit up to 50 images simultaneously.[7]

## History

Pixlr was founded in 2008 by Ola Sevandersson, a Swedish developer.[8] On 19 July 2011, Autodesk announced that they had acquired the Pixlr suite.[9] In 2013, Time listed Pixlr as one of the top 50 websites of the year.[10] 123RF acquired Autodesk Pixlr for an undisclosed agreement on 24 April 2017[11] and Sevandersson joined the company. In September 2023, Pixlr was awarded as the Top 13 GenAi Web Product by the world's top venture firm Andreessen Horowitz.

The platform rebranded itself in 2019 by introducing Pixlr X, Pixlr E and Pixlr M.[2]
