Pixlr-o-matic 2.2.4

Basic photo editing app with really nice filters and effects
It seems that photo editing tools are among the most popular apps in Google Play Store. Still, it's extremely difficult to find the app that meets your needs for professional and meticulous editing or fast overlay of filters. If you're looking for the latter, Pixlr-o-matic might be the best idea as it comes with sleek effects and intuitive UI.

Get familiar with this app in seconds

There's nothing complicated about this app, so it doesn't come with instructions of use only some settings that you can make. The app launches with the option of uploading or snapping a picture, after which it opens the editor.

You can change the default size of saved images or assign a destination folder of your choosing. There's also the option of launching the app with the camera mode on, but those are the only settings that you can make.

Edit pictures by adding artistic filters

You don't have to be a professional photographer to take beautiful pictures. Pixlr-o-matic provides you with artistic filters to transform ordinary images into interesting ones. A zoom button is featured on the top left of the screen, while the auto-adjust icon is on the top right, next to the icon that opens the gallery of filters.

Pixlr-o-matic comes with a long range of filters you can apply to your pictures to make them more artistic. Once you're done choosing a filter, check out the many effects you can add to your pictures. And if you want more, the app provides you with a shortcut to a gallery of all sorts of filters and effects that you can download for your phone.

Add borders and share pictures when you're done editing

Borders are also available in case you wish to frame the photos. With a single push of a button the app saves your image into the desired folder. There's also the option of sharing pictures with friends on social networking sites.

Pixlr-o-matic has some shortcomings, it doesn't allow users to crop images, adjust brightness or contrast or even create collages. Still, it's a great app for snapping, editing and posting pictures in mere minutes.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
 

Simplistic but efficient design that makes it easy to snap, edit and share pictures. The app doesn't seem to have any stability issues.

Function8
 

It moves really fast, changes to pictures are made instantly. However, it lacks many classical editing tools, like cropping and color adjustments.

Security10
 

Pixlr-o-matic only needs permission to your photo gallery and media files. There aren't any privacy risks imposed by the app, but people should always be careful with the images they post online.

Battery8
 

Normal consumption of battery for a photo editing app. It shouldn't drain your battery during a selfie session.

Price9
 

Completely free of charge and doesn't come with ads. Addition effects and filters must be installed, but they're also free.

Compatibility9
 

The app needs Android version 2.1 or later to work, making it accessible to many users.
