PixLab Photo Editor
What PixLab Photo Editor is
PixLab Photo Editor is a browser-based and iOS photo editor with a free plan and optional generative tools. It combines prompt-based editing with manual controls such as cropping, resizing, layers, masks, text, filters, drawing, erasing, and export. Manual canvas changes are processed locally in the browser. Prompt features can remove backgrounds, clean up objects, upscale images, retouch portraits, adjust color, and resize images for social media. Selected canvas data is sent to PixLab for these server-powered operations and purged after processing. Finished images can be downloaded as PNG, JPG, or WEBP files. The editor runs in a web browser and on iPhone or iPad. PixLab also offers image-processing API endpoints for developers and teams. The free plan is available, while one-time credit packs cost $9, paid once, $20, paid once, $35, paid once, or $109, paid once, depending on the pack.
