Pixlr

Pixlr is a cloud-based set of image tools and utilities, including a number of photo editors, a screen grabber browser extension, and a photo sharing service. The suite was intended for non-professionals, however the apps range from simple to advanced photo editing. It can be used on PCs, and on smartphones or tablets using a mobile app.[1] Time put Pixlr on its list of the top 50 websites of 2013.[2] It has web-based 'paint' features similar to online image manipulation software such as Sumo Paint.[3]

History

Pixlr was founded in Sweden in 2008 by Ola Sevandersson. On 19 July 2011, the suite was acquired by Autodesk.[4]
