Ignore the naysayers, Pixlr is legit.
I don't understand why people think they deserve anything for free, get over it. Pixlr is a company which needs to generate profit to pay for staffing, server housing, and a host of many other amenities to run a business, otherwise, no more Pixlr. How petty can one be to complain about dirt cheap monthly rates, none of you are entitled to anything, stop with the temper tantrums. Pixlr offers a quality service for a price you will not see elsewhere, and above all else, Pixlr is a business before it is a hand out. If you can't afford 8.99 annually then you should probably cancel your internet service which is more than likely running you anywhere from 25-80 a month. It takes some ignorant nerve to throw a cry party on a review site just because a business is trying to stay afloat.
