Pixlr is a practical choice for people who want AI editing in a browser tab. Pixlr Editor and Pixlr Express run on the web, and the same account works on desktop and in the mobile apps. The App Store listing describes AI Generative Fill to add, replace or modify part of a photo with a text prompt, AI Remove Object, one tap background removal and image to video. On the pricing page, the Plus tier includes 80 monthly AI credits and Premium includes 1,000, with private mode for AI generations and a large library of templates and fonts. Premium costs $9.99 a month on the US App Store, while the web page showed euro prices from our location. Pixlr says it does not refund subscriptions once paid, so start on the free tier first. Its 4.3 App Store rating is the lowest of the apps we compared. We compared documented features and published prices rather than testing the app.
