Holiday ahoy! If you live in the United States, we’ve added some borders and effects to Pixlr Express (both the web version and mobile apps) that let you add star overlays and some red-white-and-blue ribbons to your photos. These seasonal Fourth of July effects are perfect for photos you take at an outdoor BBQ or
This week, we’re rotating some new “Symbol” stickers into Pixlr Express. We regularly rotate seasonal stickers (e.g., the recent July 4th stickers in the U.S.) to keep things fresh, but we also like to keep the library of stickers fresh by rotating in new ones and rotating out some of the lesser-used ones.

Pixlr Express for the web has had this capability for a long time, but having it added to the phone versions encouraged me to pick it up again on the web version and try some new things. What I

How do you cut things out? That’s one of the questions we hear the most. Cutting out an image can be very easy or a bit challenging. A lot depends on the background of your photo and how complex the image is. Today, we’re going to show you the simple way; later this week, we’ll show
Just about everyone with an iPhone is excited about the iOS 7 release. It happens today, and we’ve been preparing for it for months. If you’re a Pixlr Express user with an iPhone or iPad, you’ll find a new update waiting for you. It’s a fully redesigned app with a gorgeous new interface. But it’s also got
Some of our favorite users post their beautiful photos in our Pixlr on Flickr group. Some of these folks are real standouts, continually sharing images that blow us away either with their subject matter, their sense of style, or the way they use Pixlr apps to do creative things we never would have thought to do ourselves.
If you’re a regular user of the web version of Pixlr Express, you may have used the history brush before. If you’re not, give it a look and see if it’s a tool you might want to use. The history brush can sometimes be misunderstood, so I wanted to offer a few pointers for those
