Choose either to create an image from
scratch, or open one from your computer.


Pixlr.com/editor

Let’s start by opening one from your
computer.

Perfect

Pretty self explanatory, right? Just like
uploading one to Facebook or an email.

The layout is clear with tools at both
the top of the screen and the sides.

Adjust your image’s size, and other features by
opening the drop-down options available.


Pixlr.com/editor

Choose the exact size you wish to make the
image and press ok. This is also helpful when
making a new image.


Pixlr.com/editor

Add text to any image by selecting the text
button on the tool bar, and using the options
in the text box to format.

Yeah, what he wrote.

You can also crop your image with ease, by
selecting the crop image in the tools and
dragging your mouse over the desired area.


Pixlr.com/editor

Once you have the exact area you wish
to crop, press enter and voila!

But don’t think the editing capabilities end
there. Click the colour palate in the tools
section and choose your preferred colour.

Then… changing the colour of selected
sections is easy with the ‘paint-like’ tool
button.


Pixlr.com/editor

But, if you don’t like how it looks, simply head
to the edit section of the navigation bar and
click the undo drop-down button.


Pixlr.com/editor

Want to add shapes to your image? It’s easy with
the shape tool button. Simple drag the mouse to
the size, shape and colour you’re after.


Pixlr.com/editor

Let’s try again. So you’ve opened your image,
but now you want to create a new one
altogether.


Pixlr.com/editor

Head to the file drop-down in the
navigation bar and select ‘new image’.


Pixlr.com/editor

Choose your desired size and click ‘ok’.


Pixlr.com/editor

You are now free to use any of the earlier
tricks to spruce up this blank bad-boy.


Pixlr.com/editor

Maybe you want to copy, cut and paste
from the first image? Sure, do that.


Pixlr.com/editor

You’ve now created a new image, in the size of
your choosing – ready to post on your website,
blog or social media channel.


Pixlr.com/editor

So let’s save it. There are a number of formats you
can save in, with JPEG being the most accepted
across different sites, thus least hassle to upload.
