Overall Satisfaction with Pixlr

We maintain and update our own website using a template style website (Church Plant Media). CPM only offers minimal graphics for use with the templates so we have to create our own graphics for the different pages on our site. We also send out a graphics heavy weekly newsletter through the website. In addition to our website, we also use graphics each week during our service that are projected onto the screens. I use Pixlr to create all of the graphics for our organization.
  • It offers a broad range of editing options.
  • The ability to "save" your work history within the browser but also to a file.
  • Has a large database of copyright free images for background use.
  • Has a great selection of fonts.
  • It would be fantastic if you had the option to save your entire work history at once, instead of each "project" individually. In case your web cache was cleared.
  • Add more fonts.
  • Offer more templates, other than just templates that are social media based.
  • Ease of use.
  • Quality of finished product.
  • Being able to save work, coming back later for edits.
  • The overall offerings in this design suite.
  • Over the past year, our reach (on social media) is up 20%
  • Our page visits are up 36%
  • Our page likes are up 188%
  • Having professional quality, eye catching graphics are a huge part of this.
Canva is a similar program using for creating content. I've tried out their suite as well but always end up coming back to Pixlr because of ease of use, and my familiarity with the product. They continue to make upgrades to the product and have always had what we feel we need to make top-notch looking graphics for our organization.

If you're in a situation where you're regularly creating content for a website, social media page, or even printed materials, Pixlr is a great option! It allows you to create something simple from scratch (with just a solid background and text) or something more complex (with multiple pictures, layers, fonts, shadowing, etc.). It's our go-to method for creating content. If you're someone who isn't very tech savvy, the learning curve for using Pixlr effectively could be discouraging. The interface is intuitive, but there's a lot to it.
