    It's slow. It's not free. It's made by one of the worst software companies on the planet.

    Pixlr is more a fun tool adding overlays and colours and basic fixes. Paint.NET is a full photo manipulation tool

    Like the others said, Paint.NET is made for photo manipulation while Pixlr on the other hand, is great for Windows but it''s android version is just for adding filters.

    Paint.NET is awesome to edit pictures (cut, copy, resize, write). Pixlr on the other hand is mainly effective in applying effects to pictures (blur, colorize, liquify,heal)

    Adobe Photoshop Express cannot be compared to Paint.NET. Photoshop Express lacks most of Paint.NET's features and is basically just an app to apply filters to your photos.
