Browser-based photo editing suite with AI tools for quick edits, background removal, and batch processing. A lightweight Photoshop alternative that runs entirely in the browser.
Our take
Pixlr fills the gap between phone photo editors and Photoshop — it's powerful enough for real editing but simple enough that anyone can use it. The browser-based approach means zero installation, and the Plus tier at $2/month is remarkably cheap for ad-free editing. AI features like background removal and batch editing work well. But Pixlr is purely a photo editor — no vector tools, no prototyping, no collaboration. The free tier is limited by ads and AI credit caps. Best for quick photo edits, social media content, and anyone who needs a Photoshop alternative without the price tag.
