  • Apple Safari
  • Microsoft Edge
  • Adobe Flash Plug-in: Older versions of Pixlr Editor, Pixlr Express, and Pixlr-o-matic required Adobe Flash, but current versions (Pixlr X and E) are built on HTML5 and do not require Flash. Ensure your browser is updated to support HTML5.
  • Operating System: Any OS that supports the above browsers (Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, etc.).
