Just a wrapper
Just a wrapper for some online service you have to register with. How absolutely useless!

The quality of images could be better
This is a really neat plugin, with the features my client wanted...but even at full quality, the end result images were not really that great.

Great Plugin
This is such a great plugin, it does just what I need it too! Currently there is a small glitch, but I have reached out to support for help. Fingers crossed they will come back with the solution. But ultimately this is a 5 star plugin for what it can do. Please keep up the good work!

Stopped working after 2 days
Nice plugin, however after using it for 2 days it stopped working throwing the error: "Error: Invalid or restricted API key, or registration not confirmed". This happens on two different blogs where I installed it.

Great plugin and really good support
Basicly we use the Pixo plugin to crop overview images. They have to be in the ratio 4:3 all. With that plugin and and great support it's really simple to handle that and make these image look all consistent. Pixo gave me an individuell script to fix that perfectly!

Edición de muy bajo nivel
El sistema te pide registro, te hace las cosas complicadas y finalmente te da herramientas de edición peores a paint. Muy mala herramienta.
