What Pixeluvo is
Pixeluvo is a desktop image and photo editor for Windows and Linux, with tools for photo correction, layered composition, drawing, and effects. Its photo controls handle cropping, resizing, rotation, perspective correction, blemish removal, vignettes, and text or captions. Color adjustments include presets, Curves, Levels, color temperature, and separate controls for shadows, midtones, and highlights. Projects can use unlimited layers, blending modes, editable adjustment and text layers, and masks. The Paintbrush offers presets that imitate real media and supports pressure-sensitive graphics tablets. Filters cover noise and JPEG artifact removal, detail enhancement, blur, distortion, and painterly results. A 30-day trial is available, but saved files in the trial are limited to 800×600 pixels or smaller. Entering license details in the installer enables the unrestricted version. The listed plans are $34 a month or $34, paid once. The download page currently says a Linux version is unavailable; listed Windows requirements include Windows 11, 10, or 7, at least 4 GB RAM, and a 64-bit CPU.
