PixTeller

Overview

PixTeller is a browser-based image editor and animation maker for creating visuals from templates or from scratch. It is aimed at people producing marketing, ecommerce, social media, training, or presentation content. Its strongest case is combining still-image editing and timeline animation; the free tier is too restricted for sustained use.

Key features

The photo editor covers resizing, cropping, filters, effects, and text, with PNG, JPG, or PDF downloads. The animation editor uses a frame timeline and exports MP4 video or animated GIF, giving teams a route from static artwork to motion without switching services. That animation workflow is reserved for Diamond, so Pro is not the right tier if GIF output or the animation editor is essential.

PixTeller’s library contains more than 100,000 templates, 5,000 animations, 1,500,000 photos, and 100,000 shapes. That is a substantial pool of starting material for recurring campaign and presentation work. Free accounts have limited photos, shapes, and icons, however, so the headline breadth does not translate into unrestricted free use. Templates and editor elements are under Creative Commons Zero and may be used commercially without attribution.

The service runs in a modern browser on desktop, laptop, tablet, and mobile devices, but the graphic maker is unavailable on mobile. There is no downloadable app, which makes PixTeller a poor fit for users who need to create graphics on a phone. Its privacy policy says account information is password protected and describes safeguards against unauthorized access; EU citizens can request access, updates, deletion, or restriction of personal information.

Pricing

Free costs nothing and allows five visuals per month, with limited photos, shapes, and icons, three folders, and PNG or MP4 downloads. Designs are saved as public. The photo editor also has monthly editing and storage limits, so this tier is best treated as a small-scale trial rather than a dependable production plan.

Pro costs $7 a month, billed $84 / year. It adds unlimited graphic images, the graphic editor, PNG, JPG, and PDF downloads, folders, custom fonts, transparent PNGs, and private saving. It fits regular still-graphic work, but does not include the animation editor or GIF exports.

Diamond costs $12 a month, billed $144 / year. It includes Pro features, unlimited animated videos, the animation editor, GIF exports, MP4 and GIF downloads, and priority support. It is the appropriate choice for users who need both graphic creation and animation; the higher price buys capabilities that Pro omits.

The plan names also appear as Pro Graphic Tool at $7 a year, billed $84 / year, and Diamond Graphic + Animation Tool at $12 a year, billed $144 / year. Their stated features align with the graphic and animation tiers above. PixTeller offers a full refund of subscription fees during the first 30 days if a customer decides it is not for them.

Platforms

PixTeller is accessed through a browser rather than installed as an app. It supports desktop, laptop, tablet, and mobile browsing, but the graphic maker itself is not available on mobile devices. The platform list includes Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows, while the supported-device description identifies browser access as the way to use it.

Who it's for

PixTeller suits social media campaigns, small businesses, ecommerce owners, digital marketers, trainers, presenters, and nonprofits that need recurring visuals. Pro is the better fit for ongoing static design; Diamond is for users who also need timeline-based animation and GIF output. People seeking unrestricted free production, or graphic editing on mobile, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Photo editing and frame-timeline animation share one browser service, with MP4 and GIF output on Diamond.
• Pro: The large template and asset library provides many starting points, and its elements and templates may be used commercially without attribution.
• Pro: Pro includes unlimited graphic images and private saving, addressing two important constraints of the free tier.
• Con: Free is capped at five visuals per month, restricts downloads to PNG or MP4, and saves designs publicly.
• Con: Animation editing and GIF downloads require the more expensive Diamond plan.
• Con: The graphic maker cannot be used on mobile, despite browser access on mobile devices.

Verdict

Choose PixTeller if you regularly create browser-based graphics and want the option to add frame-timeline animation, MP4, and GIF exports with Diamond. Its asset library and commercial-use licensing support recurring visual work, but the five-visual free cap and lack of mobile graphic editing are decisive drawbacks. Look elsewhere if you need a capable free workflow or must design graphics on a phone.
