Pixlr’s Online Image Editor, When All You Want To Do Is Resize An Image

Thu, 04/25/2013 - 3:36pm — senh

I was looking for a Chrome app that would allow me to resize images and came upon Pixlr’s online image editor. Open up their website on any browser (I’ve only used it on Firefox and Chrome), and you get a fast simpler version of Photoshop online. I only use it to resize images, but a lot of the common features on Photoshop are here - like layers, history, filters, and much more. It’s pretty cool.

When all you want to do is resize an image, opening up this tool from a browser is much quicker than firing up a full-fledged program like Photoshop on your operating system.

    In my previous article, I mention how the latest version of Firefox has a nearly identical look to Google’s Chrome web browser. When I’m working on new features for my sites, I use Firefox for testing and Chrome to see what the results look like to the users. I knew one of these days, because both browsers look the same now, I would confuse one for the other and put up untested programming code that would cause havoc on my sites. More
