4 years anniversary ...

Today four years ago I released pixlr.com, it was a Sunday and the following Monday was a day I hardly will forget, the response was massive and I knew I had something worth pursuing.. Well today four years later pixlr.com is without a doubt the world’s most popular online photo editing service serving millions of users every single day .. weird ..the last year alone we grew by another healthy 250% not counting the tens of millions mobile users we have on Pixlr-o-matic.

Yes it’s been another really good year, but it's not like we are going to stop anytime soon. We have a number of cool mobile apps coming this fall, some well deserved updates to Pixlr Editor as well as our other live apps so stay tuned :)

What not many people knows is that the first idea for pixlr some five years ago was to create a “photo-blog” a way to show off your stories with images, a part of that idea was to quickly fix the images with a editor .. The photo editor was so fun to build that pixlr ended up being just that.. no regrets I promise ;) anywhoo .. In the times where remakes are popular I’m happy to show a sneak peek of a product we will release “soonish” ..




Anyways, lets end with a salute for Pixlr on it's 4th birthday!

Till next time!

Hi! I'm using pixlr o matic thru my PC to edit bunch of pictures. May ask does the picture save/upload to your software or in the web ?

Thanks

Please keep the photo editor service FREE always.

And please do not sell out.
You could earn revenue from small advertisements that does not intefere with the editor, just like how Facebook does.
