Pixlr Editor is an image editor that, thanks to its simplicity and functionality, successfully competes with the niche program, Adobe Photoshop.
Compared to its "big brother" Pixlr has reduced capabilities, which does not make it worse: many of the functions of "Photoshop" remain unnecessary. But for owners of mobile devices the application is a godsend: it allows you to process photos and pictures without overloading the processor and RAM because all calculations are performed on the developer's server.
Image Sources in Pixlr
Pixlr can work with a variety of images:
- Create a new image;
- Load an image from device memory;
- Open a picture at a specific URL;
- Download a library with a ready-made picture from the developer's website.
Pixlr interface
Any computer or tablet user can understand the program. Everything here is simple and compactly arranged:
- Menu. The top line of the interface with access to various functions, including filters.
- Toolbar. Located on the left. Allows you to select pen, pencil, eraser and other tools.
- Desktop. Centered in the middle. Image can be scaled and moved.
- Layers. Located on the right-hand side. They are used to add various effects.
A log, integrated in the application, tracks the history of adjustments and allows you to undo them if the user has done something wrong.
Pixlr features.
The program has ready-made image processing presets that allow you to get beautiful images in a few clicks in the style of hand-pencil drawing, watercolor, blur, etc. Some presets are available only after free registration, some only with a paid subscription. However, in the free version of the program you can create and apply very beautiful effects to your photos.
Pixlr is a great free alternative to the cumbersome and expensive Adobe Photoshop. Thanks to cloud computing technology, the program does not "slow down" even on weak computers and portable devices, but allows professional photo processing. Owners of tablets and smartphones with slow Internet access can download the mobile application once and use it constantly.
