You can see these feeds have a coloured theme going on which make the feeds very pleasing to the eyes!

Believe it or not, everyone can create these cool photos and you don’t even need any fancy gadgets. All you need is a good photo editing tool and you’re set! But if you’re thinking, “photo editing is super difficult lah!” Well, it doesn’t have to be, especially if you’re using the right one. Don’t know which app would be good?

Then, say hello to Pixlr!

If you’ve used Photoshop and thought that it was too hard or expensive for you, then you’ll definitely love Pixlr! Here are some reasons why…

 

1. It’s absolutely free and safe to use

If you’re a professional designer or a content creator, then it’d make sense for you to drop hundreds of ringgit per month just to subscribe to a few good and reliable editing tools. But if you want to use this tool casually or you’re just as broke as I am, you’re probably not able to fork out such money.

That’s where Pixlr can come in handy! It’s completely free and safe to use for everyone. But if you’re a professional creative on a budget, you can also subscribe to their Creative Pack on a monthly or yearly basis to enjoy unlimited downloads and free content!

 

2. You don’t have to install it because it works on any kind of browser

On top of it being free, Pixlr works best on a web browser. Yes, that’s right, you don’t have to go through the hassle of installing an app on your device! In fact, Pixlr works on all of the commonly used browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.

Editing on the desktop is not convenient enough for you? Fret not, Pixlr is also available on mobile! You can either use it on mobile web or you can download their app which is FREE via the App Store or Google Play for some quick on-the-go editing.

FYI, their app currently has over 130 million downloads! Might be worth checking out ?

 

3. It’s available in playful and advanced modes

The best thing about Pixlr is that it is also available in two different modes: the playful Pixlr X or the more advanced Pixlr E. The main differences between the two are as listed below:

Pixlr X:

  • A simple and intuitive layout that’s great for beginners.
  • Provides tools for quick edits such as colour adjustments, cropping, resizing, retouch, etc.
  • Decorate your visuals with stickers, shapes or fonts, or add photo effects and filters.
  • Organise and optimise your projects with layers.

Pixlr E:

  • A more advanced editor for seasoned users.
  • Has the basic functions of X with added tools such as brush options, colour replacement, gradients, drop shadows and more.
  • Multiple tabs function allowing you to work on different projects at once.

So, whether you’re a newbie who just wants to improve that selfie you just took or a budding content creator looking to level up your photos, everyone can use it.

 

4. The interface is very user-friendly

People tend to think photo editing is tricky due to editing tools with a maze-like interface where you don’t even know where to begin! But with Pixlr X especially, you can see that there’s no complicated interface for you to walk through and the features are very straightforward, so your learning will come naturally!

So if you’re looking to crop out your background, convert picture formats or even remove that annoying pimple, you can find it all in one place.

 

5. There are tons of smart tools you can use

Bye-bye, ugly backgrounds!

Given that it’s a free tool and also works on a browser, you might be a bit sceptical as to how good this tool is but once you fire up Pixlr E, you’ll notice that it features some advanced tools including:

  • AI cutout
  • Liquify tool
  • Background remover… and so much more!

Bonus point: thanks to their sleek and simplified functions, most of their features are super easy to use. For example, their background remover is fully automated! Now, you don’t have to spend hours carving out your image just to remove the background. Simply upload your picture and the background will be cut out for you in a matter of seconds!
