'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.
Turbocharge your design and photo editing tasks for $80 with Pixlr Premium
If you create or edit images for a living, then you're probably aware of the many photo editing tools available on the market. But not all are made equal, and many aren't easy to use. Pixlr Premium, however, uses AI to take the headache out of the artistic process for beautiful results.
A cloud-based platform, Pixlr provides a suite of image editing utilities and tools that include a photo-sharing service and several photo editors. It can perform a range of editing tasks and will work on any device, so you can create stunning designs and edit photos on your desktop, phone, laptop and portable monitor.
Pixlr uses a native document format, PXZ, but it is also compatible with various image formats, such as PNG, JPEG, GIF, PSD (Photoshop Document) and WEBP. This premium subscription is ad-free, and all future updates to the platform are included.
In addition to 7,000 extra icons and stickers, 5,000 decorative texts and 3,000 extra overlays, Pixlr Premium offers many other valuable features. For example, Pixlr X makes it easy to edit photos and design templates with drag-and-drop, while Pixlr E provides an advanced design maker and photo editor.
Of course, you can apply filters and effects with a few easy clicks, and there are pre-made templates for collages built-in. But there are also presets for professional-looking animations, and one tool powered by artificial intelligence allows you to instantly remove backgrounds with a single click. Pixlr also includes thousands of design templates for brochures, IG stories, YouTube banners and more.
New templates were recently added, along with 18,000 new assets and additional tools, such as a Batch Upload function that allows users to edit up to 50 images at a time. There is also a brush feature for creating hand-drawn effects, a Heal tool to remove unwanted objects from pictures and an Animation feature that allows users to include movement in edits. Pixlr now supports image resolutions up to 8196 x 8196, as well.
It's not surprising that Pixlr Premium has earned a rating of 4.4 stars out of 5 on G2 with such a multitude of productivity-boosting features.
