What Pixlr does

Edits photos in the browser and generates images, video and audio from prompts, with background removal, generative fill, face swap and upscaling.

Pixlr is an online photo editor and image generator that runs in the browser. The pricing page also refers to mobile apps on Android and iOS. It combines classic editing with generative AI, so you can work on an existing photo or start from a text prompt.

The homepage lists these capabilities: text-to-image generation, video generation from text or images, one-click background removal, generative fill (select an area and describe what to generate), face swap in photos and video, a photo collage maker with layouts, and AI upscaling up to 25 megapixels. It also lists audio tools (text to speech, speech to text and text to music) and says images can be edited by describing the changes in natural language.

Pixlr is freemium. The pricing page says it offers both free and premium access, and the homepage describes it as free in your browser. The pricing page lists four paid plans in euros. Plus is €2.49 per month billed monthly or €1.99 per month billed yearly. Premium is €9.99 per month billed monthly or €7.99 per month billed yearly. Ultra is listed from €24.99 per month billed monthly or from €19.99 per month billed yearly. Ultra MAX is €49.99 per month billed monthly or €39.99 per month billed yearly. The page states that yearly billing saves 20%.

The plans differ in AI credits and parallel generations. Plus is ad-free with unlimited saves, 1 concurrent AI generation and 80 monthly AI Credits. Premium adds access to all image, video and audio models, 4 concurrent generations and 1,000 monthly AI Credits. Ultra has 8 concurrent generations and a priority generation queue. The pricing page does not list limits for the free tier.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Free access in the browser, as stated on the homepage
  • Editing plus AI generation of images, video and audio in one product
  • Four paid plans, starting at €2.49 per month billed monthly for Plus
  • Yearly billing saves 20%, according to the pricing page
  • Available on the web and in Android and iOS apps

Cons

  • No refunds once a subscription payment has been processed
  • Subscription credits reset to 0 if you cancel

  • The official pages do not mention a free trial or an API
  • Ultra's top price is not stated, only a starting price

Our take

Pixlr suits people who want photo editing and AI generation of images, video and audio in one place and who would like to begin with the free browser access. The paid plans scale by monthly AI credits and the number of generations that can run at once, so heavier generation users would compare Premium and Ultra, while light users may find Plus enough. It is less clear a fit for anyone who needs a documented trial period or an API, because the official pages we read state neither. Read the terms before subscribing: the pricing page says no refunds are possible once payment is processed, and that subscription credits reset to 0 when you cancel. The free tier's limits are also not listed on the pricing page, so check what the free access covers for your task before paying.
