Autodesk Pixlr provides a straightforward photo editing process that even beginners should be comfortable with. With the program's desktop application, you can now use Pixlr offline.

Pros

Accessible tools: Even if it's your first time editing a photo, Pixlr is very easy to grasp.

Effect applications: Pixlr allows you to apply a variety of effects and filters that will look right at home on Facebook and Instagram.

High-resolution outputs: With the desktop application, you get pro-quality, high-resolution output of your work.

Cons

Limited free options: Although it is not very expensive, Pixlr does reserve greater control and tools in the app for paid subscribers. For example, you get full access to the masking tools only if you pay for the Pro-level membership.

Bottom Line

Pixlr is a very modern and handy image editing tool. However, to really unlock the program's potential, you will have to sign up for a subscription.
