And this whole arrangement is what makes the Pixlr app an absolute joy to use and edit our images with a wide array of effects and styling elements like overlays, stickers, doodling tools, filters, etc.

But there are multiple other factors too that make the Pixlr app a serious contender for the crown of the best image editing app for Android. Take for example the app’s favorites feature, which allows users to save their preferred combination of filters and overlays for future use as well as the ability to share the edited images directly to social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

Another noteworthy strength of the app is collages, and in my opinion, Pixlr’s collage making tool is simply one of the best found in any image editing app in the Android ecosystem, thanks to the wide selection of tools and combination presets that can generate more collage styles than you can think of. Also, the "Splash" feature which allows the user to choose where you want filter to appear and make others black & white, thus, this tool is really amazing in terms of removing watermark images or image with logo using the "Mosaic" feature.
