Would you like to be able to apply all kinds of artistic effects to your photographs and images? Then you should know that Pixlr-O-Matic is one of the best alternatives that you can find for this purpose, to install it on your Windows computer. It is a system that will allow you to take any image on your PC to edit or capture with your webcam connected to the computer and then modify it.

It is precisely at this point where we find one of the main virtues of Pixlr-O-Matic and its differences concerning other similar applications, considering that it offers the definite possibility of editing recently taken photographs. Not all image editing platforms allow you to capture the screen through the webcam, which is why it is an excellent option if you want to play a little with your face.

Then, the operation of Pixlr-O-Matic occurs from three completely different sections between them. In the first instance, we can choose a color filter among the several available. Secondly, we can apply one of the many textures that we also have at hand, and finally, it is time to choose a frame to finish our photograph.

A not minor detail of Pixlr-O-Matic, which also immediately becomes one of the qualities we value most, has to do with the fact that all the changes we make to our images are instantly visible. That is to say, a part of the screen will show you how the photo in question is looking as you add changes, so you can always get the result you are looking for.

This is ideal because with the enormous amount of filters, textures, and frames we have at our disposal, even if we like them when we see them in general, it is possible that later they do not end up convincing us too much added to our image. This automatic photo viewer will allow you to get rid of this kind of annoyance, so we consider it to be a very valid alternative.

Once all the changes or modifications have been made to the image in question, Pixlr-O-Matic will allow us to store it on our computer or share it over the Internet, something that will depend on what the user prefers. However, it is fair to point out that sharing the results through our accounts in the main social networks is impossible, something that is missed.

On the other hand, when we say that it allows us to share images over the Internet, we mean that it is possible to upload them to some sites specifically associated with the platform, among which we find, for example, imm.io. We understand this is not what most users want, but we prefer access to Facebook, Instagram, etc.

How many filters, textures, and frames do Pixlr-O-Matic have? A lot, although its creators point out that we can find more than 20 filters, more than 30 textures, and more than 30 frames, so the combinations between them are infinite. All you have to do is make the changes you want until you get the results you are looking for, and then you can store it on your PC to share it whenever you want, with whomever you want.

Pixlr-O-Matic's user interface has seemed to us not only very good but one of the best in the segment, taking into account that you can see the work behind it, the effort of the developers to achieve a different proposal to everything known. It stands out, mainly because it has some vintage elements, thanks to which it is likely to remind you of other similar but older platforms.

If we review some of the main strong points of Pixlr-O-Matic, we will have to mention that it is an application with an infinite number of effects, and most of them are attractive. In the same way, it allows you to view the modifications in real-time, which is perfect for saving time; finally, we have to add that it is fully compatible with using a webcam.

Of course, we have also found negative aspects in Pixlr-O-Matic. Although many could be mentioned, we will stop specifically at one that we believe is the most serious about qualifying it in some way. Unfortunately, this service does not have any integration when publishing to social networks, which we consider a real shame since it does almost everything else.

In summary, we can say that Pixlr is one of the best applications that you can install on your computer when you want to make all kinds of modifications to images or photographs that you have stored. Its interface and the fact that it is free are more than enough reasons to choose it over other options in this segment.
