Autodesk Pixlr

Autodesk Pixlr is a free photo-editing application for Windows PC created by Autodesk, company well-known around the world for their award-winning computer-aided design (CAD) software AutoCAD that has standardized the use of computer-generated designs in architecture, engineering, and entertainment. While that professional app has grown to the incredible size, this small PC application aims to serve a completely different use – to provide all users of Windows OS with a simple, intuitive, and highly capable photo editor. In addition to the array of standard tools for resizing, zooming, cropping, rotating and other auto-fix tools (such as red-eye removal), Autodesk Pixlr also has full support for enhanced features such as overlays, filters, stickers and other effects that can transform your image and photo into a completely different end product.

Built from the ground up to be as useful as possible without overwhelming users, Autodesk Pixlr today represents one of the best free photo editing tools that can get your images ready for online publishing. Over the years of presence on the market, this app has become well known for one of the best tools that can help influencers and photo designers to get their images ready for publishing on social media websites. To accelerate the deployment of photos to such online destinations, Autodesk Pixlr even has a built-in export tool that will upload chosen photos directly to Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Autodesk Pixlr comes in a small installation package that will ask from the users only to pick the default app language and follow a few simple on-screen instructions. Once installed, the app can be accessed via a shortcut or direct image file association. Optimized for both novices and seasoned users, the user interface of this app promotes easy discovery of tools. The main tools are hidden between the large icons on the far left side on the screen (Fast, Refine, Effect, Overlay, Border, Stylize, Stickers and Type) and the dropdown menus on the top (File, Edit, Fast, Refine, Text, Membership, and View). On the very bottom of the app are home for the zoom and metadata tool, as well as shortcuts for uploading images to an email and social network websites.

Autodesk Pixlr is 100% FREE and is optimized to run on modern versions of Windows OS. It requires at least Windows 7 and can run on both 32-bit and 64-bit OS.
