Pixo’s CDN Service was down

Posted 18 November 2025 by IN / 0 responses

In case you are still not aware, Cloudflare (CF), one of the biggest Content Delivery Network (CDN) providers, has major issues, started today. Unfortunately, Pixo Services also use CF as CDN provider, and was down several times today, because of that.

Action taken

We already detached pixoeditor.com from Cloudflare network; connection interruptions to Pixo should have stopped by now; if they continue, they will stop for sure in the next 24 hours at most (that’s because the Domain Name Services (DNS) must refresh the change.

Impact

As a result, Pixo Services might get slower in some locations (for example, Australia). That’s because currently there is no CDN and all requests hit our servers directly (which are located in the US region).

Further actions

Once we get confirmation that the CF problems are resolved, we will switch back to CF.

Update Nov 19

Cloudflare services became stable again, and we switched Pixo services back to CF.

Important Update: Change of Payment Provider

Posted 2 October 2025 by IN / 0 responses

We want to inform you about an important change that affects all of our paid customers. We have switched to a new payment provider. This change will improve billing reliability, provide better global coverage, and strengthen security for all transactions.

What this means for existing customers

Because subscriptions cannot be migrated automatically, all existing customers are required to re-create their subscriptions in the new system. Without this action, your current subscription will not renew and Pixo Premium features will expire.

What you need to do

  1. Log in to the control panel.
  2. If you see a warning message at the top, then your subscription is about to expire within 30 days
  3. Click on the link(s) and follow the instructions to create a new subscription.

The process is straightforward and only takes a few minutes. Your account data, projects, and settings remain unchanged — only the billing provider is affected.

Deadline to act

Please complete the subscription update before your current subscription expires to ensure uninterrupted access to our Premium services.

Support

If you encounter any issues during the update process, our support team is available to help. Contact us at support(at)pixoeditor.com or via the chat widget in this website.

We appreciate your cooperation and thank you for your continued trust in our service.

Resizing images

Posted 29 May 2023 by IN / 1 response

At last! One of the most-wanted features is now live! End users can now resize images with Pixo. Enlarge or reduce them by manually setting the width or height, or select a pre-defined image size suitable for social media!

But wait, that’s not all. Enlarging raster images leads to quality loss. Raster images are not suitable for enlargement because they get pixelated. But when enlarging images Pixo uses AI to make the enlarged image clearer and better!

Image resize feature is available to all plans (including the FREE one) but AI upscaling is a Premium-only.

WebP image support

Posted 15 November 2022 by IN / 0 responses

We are happy to announce that Pixo now fully supports the WebP image format, both in the Image Editor and the REST Editing API. You can now send a webp image to Pixo Editor or the REST Editing API and get the final result again in webp or any other supported output format (png or jpeg).

Browser support

According to caniuse.com all modern browsers support webp format nowadays. Although older versions of Microsoft Edge browser does not support it, our usage statistics for the past 3 months show that none of our users use the non-Chromium Edge anymore. So using webp format should be safe.

2022: What’s new

Posted 25 September 2022 by IN / 0 responses

We haven’t posted anything for a very long time. This does not mean that we did nothing, though 😉 There are plenty of new APIs & features that we implemented and released since the beginning of 2022. Here are the most interesting ones.

APIs

Improvements in REST & Editor APIs

After we released the Background tool, we also added APIs for it. Check the REST API and Editor API documentations for more info.

Custom fonts API

You can now amend stock fonts in Pixo, or completely replace them with your own collection! Check the example.

Empty canvas

You can now init Pixo Editor with empty canvas, either transparent or with solid background color.

Units

You can now specify the Unit to be used in all measured user inputs (like in Crop). Can be one of the following: “px” (default), “cm” or “in”.

Editing Tools

Eraser brush

Users now can erase objects:

Shortcut keys

Users can now delete selected objects with del/backspace keys.

Autoresizable textarea in Text tool

Users can now add multiline text in the Text tool:

Improved objects rotation controls

Users can now see the rotation angle while rotating objects:

Objects opacity

Users can now control the opacity of objects:

Grid

Users can now toggle a grid over the canvas in order to position objects more precisely:

Clone objects

Users can now clone selected objects with the click of a control button:

New dictionaries

Danish (da-DK) and Dutch (nl-NL).

A lot of projects for customers

We did many integrations of Pixo into various customers’ projects. If you need custom integration and you are not a developer, or you need assistance – please do not hesitate to contact us.

We never stop

We also did a lot of other smaller bug fixes & improvements. We never stop improving the product & APIs.

Integrating Pixo into native iOS and Android apps with Flutter

Posted 15 March 2022 by IN / 0 responses

Although Pixo Editor does not provide native SDK for iOS, Android, or Flutter, it can be easily integrated into a native application, thanks to the WebView component, supported by both platforms. All you need is an embedded HTML page that integrates Pixo, a WebView instance rendering that HTML page, and a communication controller. Here is the flow:

  1. Any Image is converted to base64 string
  2. The WebView component renders a static HTML page that integrates Pixo
  3. The static HTML page gets the base64 string and opens it in Pixo
  4. The onSave callback of the Pixo.Bridge instance sends back the edited image as base64 string as a JavascriptChannel
  5. The base64 string is converted to Image

Here is a short video showing the end result:

You can check the source code of the above example in our public GitLab repo.

Example: Watermark

Posted 7 February 2022 by IN / 0 responses

A watermark is a logo, a piece of text or signature imposed onto an image. Watermarks are typically transparent, so those viewing the image can still admire it. Watermarking images can also protect the copyright – ensuring others don’t use the image without the owner’s permission.

With this example you’ll learn how to impose watermarks on end-user’s images – a simple text. You can also insert custom sticker images as watermarks.

Everything you need to do is to:

  1. Overwrite the default Save action, in order to insert the watermark when the end-user clicks “Save”, using the Custom Actions API;
  2. To insert the text watermark before saving the image, using the Text Editing API.

The example is available in JSFiddle.

Happy coding!

Editing API

Posted 31 December 2021 by IN / 0 responses

Our Editing API is finally out now! With it, you can manipulate images server-side. It supports most of the features of the Editor, and guarantees you the exact same result as if the image was edited in Pixo Editor.

Check out the Editing API documentation page for more info.

Single API key

You can use both the Editing API and the client-side Image Editor with the same API key. You can, of course, create new API key for server-side projects. But it will require a new subscription.

API keys can be protected both by domain and IP address.

TODO

There are a couple of features to be added soon:

  • Background API – remove background, or replace it with solid color or another image
  • Drawing shapes
  • Free drawing

Limitations

The Editing API is not available for FREE accounts.

We wish you a happy New year

This project was the biggest one for this year. We are very happy that we managed to release it, even though in the very last day of 2021. The past two years were extremely hard for all of us. Let’s hope that 2022 will be a much better one. We will continue our work on exciting new features. Stay healthy, and have a happy New 2022!

Background tool

Posted 24 December 2021 by IN / 0 responses

We’re extremely happy to announce a new feature we’ve been working on for quite so long! Let us present to you our new exciting end-user tool – Background!

Removing background of images using machine learning (ML) is very popular these days. Our brand new Background tool does exactly this. But that’s not all! End users can not only remove the background of photos, but also can replace it with a solid color, or with another background image. They can browse a rich stock image collection (powered by Unsplash) as well as to upload their custom image to be used as a background of the edited photo.

Removing the background

Background removing is possible thanks to ML. This is expensive operation and takes some time, usually a couple of seconds. During this time end users see a progress message.

Is it a Premium feature?

Yes. The Background tool is a Premium feature, which means that it is available in all paid subscriptions as well as during trial period. FREE accounts do not have access to this tool.

Will it cost extra?

At the moment of the release – no. However, down the road we may decide to make this feature cost extra, one way or another – either apply some pay-per-use, or create extra subscription plans on top of the current ones.

Will I get extra charged without notice?

Definitely not! If we ever decide to make the Background tool cost extra, you will have the choice to upgrade your subscription and start using it, or to keep your current plan and not use the Background tool respectfully.

We wish you a Merry Christmas…

…and a Happy New Year! As usual, our Christmas Stickers pack is now available to end users.

Be well and thanks for choosing Pixo!

Object order controls

Posted 6 September 2021 by IN / 0 responses

We are happy to announce that we finally implemented z-order controls in Pixo! These controls allow your end users to change the z-order of every object (Text, Sticker, Shape):

  • move it to the very top
  • move one level up
  • move one level down
  • move it to the very bottom

Many users were asking us for this feature. Hope you all enjoy it!
