History

Pixlr was founded in 2008 by Ola Sevandersson, a Swedish developer.[5] On 19 July 2011, Autodesk announced that they had acquired the Pixlr suite.[6] 123RF acquired Autodesk Pixlr for an undisclosed agreement on 24 April 2017[7] and Sevandersson joined the company.

The platform rebranded itself in 2019 by introducing Pixlr X, Pixlr E and Pixlr M.[2]
