Pixlr launches two new apps to make casual content creation easier

This article was done in collaboration with Pixlr. 

Pixlr has launched its two user-friendly mobile apps - Stories and Remove Background. Stories by Pixlr, is a mobile app that allows social media users to create portrait-sized stories while on the go, so they can share them on any disappearing content social media platforms such as Facebook Story and Instagram Story.

The new app contains a smart editing tool called Easy Edit which lets any users, even casual content creators, quickly customize their story to their preference such as to upload their own photo, enhance with filters and edit color as well as text.

Ola Sevandersson, CEO of Pixlr said, “With Stories, you don’t need to be a designer to create a beautiful story for Instagram or Tiktok. Thanks to our robust AI system, it makes it easier for users to complete a story in a breeze so they can share amazing moments instantly with friends and family.”

Remove Background allows content creators and digital entrepreneurs to remove background from one or multiple photos. Built using Apple technologies such as Core ML to deliver blazing fast background, this mobile application will create a cutout for your profile picture, social media post, story, podcast cover, product photography and even for ecommerce use such as Shopify, Poshmark, Amazon and Etsy product photos.

Both mobile apps are now available for download at no charge from Apple Store and Google Playstore. Stories and Remove Background by Pixlr is the first of many apps to refresh Pixlr’s first mobile app. Since its inception in 2008 the Company has been focussing on developing tools for editing and designing contents used on desktops.

According to the company, the rise of casual content across the social media sphere has inspired Pixlr to expand its product line to include more mobile apps and start letting everyone access to an abundance of design resources. Pixlr says it is used by nearly 10 million users monthly, with its mobile apps having been downloaded more than 130 million times historically since launch.

Previously, Pixlr launched Pixlr 2022, to enhance the potential of photo editing by incorporating AI-powered features that come fully equipped with a new interactive animation function, tablet-friendly brushes, and a healing tool that allows users to retouch and edit up to 50 images at once. Keeping abreast of trends within the changing photo editing landscape, Pixlr 2022 provides magical touches to let users make smarter and faster designs in an easy-to-use fashion.
