So yes, we where bought by Autodesk - for you guys who don't know who they are .. I'm not surprised, not that they aren't a big and important company but just because they - until a couple of years ago just worked with professional tools. Stuff like 80% of all modern cars are designed with and like all the special effects in movies and games are made in tools from Autodesk... You know the movie Avatar was made with tools from this company (and your IKEA furniture and LEGO toys)...
So yes they are big and great - In our case (The big PIXLR) we are part of a department called "Consumer group" they work with a slightly different set of rules and approach, we have the freedom to try out different stuff and see if people like them. In this group there are products like Sketchbook, Thinkerbox and 123d.
The BIG! changes we are going to do on pixlr.com are .. nothing, nada, zip .. the people at Autodesk believe in the stuff we have done so far and we are going to be free enough to still deliver kick-ass products. We are however going to be more people working on the service so better, more stable and new products are going to be the result. (Like Pixlr-o-matic for iOS - I didn't say that by the way ..;) )
Oh and a other change is the tone on my tan since I'm going to spend a lot more time in San Francisco :) (Sweden have harsh winters)
To sum it up - No change, still free, open and great!

Please make one change... an app for my phone! I love this site and it'd be fun on a phone
I have to agree with that last comment.......... an ios app would be insane!
Awesome work Ola. And, even better to know that this will still be free!
Congrats, and thanks for keeping it as it is today! :)
This is a big change in Pixlr Company, wish you all the best and hope for better results.
That sounds great. Congratulations!
This is SOOOOO bad :( open your code open your minds, be free (as in freedom)
SIMPLY AWESOME; NOW IT`S PART OF MY LIFE
Don't forget to fix that horribly font rendering ;)
As a long time AutoDesk user (AutoCAD mainly) it is nice to see them looking more at consumer applications. I have used Pixlr some and have enjoyed wonderful products that you have put out. I hope this is a start of good things for all of you.
This is great news. I'm happy for you and the Pixlr application. The addition of right, center and left align in the text tool would be awesome.
gg.
For the love of cake, add X/Y rulers. I don't see any, and it would be nice if users could make more precise guides for lining objects up.
XXX Milion dollar for Pixlr???
Want to disclose anything about that?
Hi I can't get to pixlr.com! 404 not found! :(
