Pixlr-o-matic

Pixlr is a company that makes Flash-based photo editing services that are cloud based. Pixlr-o-matic is one of their services. It lets you add vintage touches to your photographs. The interface is easy and inviting. Just locate the picture you want to manipulate either from online or a local file.


Then the fun begins! You can select from several pre-set options that change the color, intensity and just add a vintage vibe to the photo. There are many to choose from and you can merrily click from one to the next to see the effects in action.


When you find your favorite, click on the arrows at the bottom of the screen. Heading to the right will take you to additional items for your photo. You can add glitter, burn, fog, scratches and much more to add an even more vintage feel.

Finally, you can click to the right again and change the edges of the photograph. They can be scrapbook style, flowery, or even grunge.


Then you have the option to save the image either up to imm.io where you can send it out via social media or to your local drive.


Beware, it’s addictive! If you are looking for a more robust photo editor, you will also want to check out Pixlr Editor which is a very nice cloud based editor with lots of features.
