Pixelmator Reviews

Great graphics app!

spitfire100 on

I’ve used this app for many years. I’m surprised I didn’t write a review sooner. I love the simplicity of the design. It’s sooo much easier to use then that behemoth Photoshop.

Upgrades are disappointing

I use Pixelmator since 2018 and never had a problem. The tools i use the most are select and add photo. I are collages uploading a picture and select an area to transpose into another picture. Recently for the past months, i noticed significant image quality loss when doing so and it’s been so annoying..

10/10, Incredible

I’ve been using Pixelmator almost every day for 5 years now to edit my product photography. It’s incredible. The ease of use, flat rate price and dynamic tools are simply unmatched. With this app I’ve managed to build a business entirely from my phone and now quit my day job! Thank you so much to the Pixelmator team, keep doing what you’re doing 🤞🏼

No EDR support

Great app.

Surprisingly powerful. I love using it. I am constantly learning about the features. There is a little bit of a glitch with the odd crash, this is annoying because I lose my work. I hope they iron that out. Aside from that? I believe you should buy it. It’s worth it.

A must Have for those who work with Photographers and Painting

While I will use procreate for creating professional painting. I will use this app for all editing of my photos and quick touch up of some artwork. It has simple yet powerful tools that any beginner and professional will use daily.

The new update is awful

éiregirl on

Canada

Used to love Pixelmator, but the new update has taken away the most creative templates and replaced them with boring old squares. Whose idea was this?

Slows updates. But still lacking

Chandlerart on

Canada

I LOVE Pixelmator for the desktop, but the iPad app is very disappointing. One of the things that needs to change, which would greatly improve my review, is regarding the lack of ability to import drawing tools. The limited selection they have are not good, and they are all “chisel tips” that draw with a sort of ribbon effect. For inking, this is no good. But if we had the ability to import brushes from the desk top version, I would enjoy the iPad version so much more. But until they do, this is still sits in my off loaded folder. :(

Terrible output resolution

vbharms on

Canada

Fairly easy to work, but the output has been very frustrating. It appears to convert images to BTM for image manipulation and then output a very degraded image no matter what export setting I use. Resolution would bring a much higher rating.

Update

Jolier on

Canada

Terrible update, all the good brushes are gone now, and finding any brushes is harder. And you still have some small undo arrow hiding way up in the corner. Just bad. Can we please have the watercolour brushes back, at the very least? 🙄
