Pixlr Express is a free photo editing app created by Autodesk Inc. Pixlr Express is available on Android and iOS. The app not only has cropping, resizing, and filter capabilities, it also has specialized tools such as spot healing and blur/sharpen/focus. You can take photos straight from the app or from your existing photo gallery. Overall, this app was a great find and is very useful for photo taking and editing.
When you first open up the app, you
see Camera, Photos, Collage, and Fresh. The Camera feature allows you
to take a photo directly through the app. Choosing Photos allows users to
access existing photo galleries to choose a photo to edit. The Collage item lets users to arrange
their photos in a combination to save as one photo. The Fresh selection is a
shortcut to your most recent taken photo. Also, in the upper left hand corner,
there is an options gear manage the app’s settings.
In the editing section, the menu options are Adjustment, Effect, Overlay, Borders, Type, and Stickers. In the screenshots, you can see how each option opens to show more specific selections. In my personal experience, the most helpful feature is the Adjustment tab. Tools like Stylize and Heal are easy to use and as precise as Photoshop.
Like any app, there are pros and
cons to using this system. Some pros are that this app is the mobile equivalent
of Photoshop, you can take and edit photos without leaving the app, all actions
run smoothly, sharing capabilities are instant, the in-app camera has amazing
quality or overlay options, and the app has never crashed since I downloaded
it. The only con I can have for this app is that it needs more variety in
editing themes.

In my personal experience with the app, it is a great addition to my phone. I always open this app rather than use the original camera app. The clean layout makes the applications easy to use so even people picking it up for the first time can maneuver through the app like a pro. Pixlr Express is so much fun to use and should definitely be downloaded immediately.
