 "summary": "Browser, desktop and mobile photo editor with AI image, video and voice generation; a free version with ads and paid plans that add ad-free editing, AI credits and a template library.",
 "best_for": "people who edit photos and make quick social and marketing images in the browser and want a cheap ad-free editor, with optional AI image, video and voice generation on the same account across web, desktop and mobile",
 "skip_if": "you need a professional editor for print or colour-critical work, you want generative output on the best models in volume at a predictable cost, or you need a refund route if the tool does not suit you",
 "honest_knock": "Pixlr does not refund a processed payment, and monthly AI credits do not accumulate: they are reset to the plan allowance at each renewal and fall to zero when you cancel. The credit estimates are generous for fast models and much thinner for the better ones; Premium's 1,000 credits are about 200 pro images by Pixlr's own table. Ultra's unlimited fast generation is subject to fair use, and the page says availability is not guaranteed. The free version carries ads and a daily save limit Pixlr does not quantify. Upgrading is not possible on a PayPal subscription. Prices here were read in euros; buyers elsewhere see their own currency. We have not tested Pixlr hands-on.",

  "notes": "(read 2026-10-12 in a live browser on pixlr.com/pricing, monthly and yearly views, from a Netherlands connection, which shows euros; the English home page says plans start at $1.99 a month) Pixlr has a free version, which its FAQ describes as usable without an account or charges, carrying ads and a limit on daily free saves whose number the site does not publish. Paid plans cover the web, desktop and mobile apps with one account. Plus is €2.49 a month, or €1.99 a month billed yearly: no ads, unlimited saves, one AI generation at a time and 80 AI credits a month (960 for the year on yearly billing). Premium is €9.99 a month, or €7.99 billed yearly: all image, video and audio models, four concurrent generations, 1,000 AI credits a month (12,000 for the year), private mode and the full library of fonts, templates and elements. Ultra starts at €24.99 a month, or €19.99 yearly, with up to 10,000 credits a month (120,000 for the year), unlimited fast image generations subject to fair use, eight concurrent generations, a priority queue and extended high-resolution exports; Ultra MAX doubles the credits at €49.99 a month or €39.99 yearly. The page estimates what credits buy: on Premium about 1,000 fast AI images, 200 pro images or 50 fast AI videos a month. Credit packs can be bought on top. The FAQ sets the rules: monthly subscription credits are topped back up to the plan allowance at each renewal rather than added to, they drop to zero if you cancel, pack credits never expire and are used only after the subscription credits run out, and once a payment has been processed Pixlr does not refund it.",

  "why": "PhotoGenerator is in our dossiers too, read on 3 October 2026: a generator only, with Starter at $12 a month for 360 credits, or $120 a year for 4,320, and no free plan. Pixlr, read on 12 October 2026 in euros, combines an editor with AI generation: Premium is €9.99 a month for 1,000 credits, or €7.99 a month billed yearly, and there is a free version with ads. Credits are priced differently per model on both sites, so compare on the images you would actually generate, not on the credit count, and note the currencies are not converted here. If you mostly edit and only sometimes generate, Pixlr is the cheaper fit; if generation is the whole job, compare the per-model credit costs first."
