Pixorial is a cloud-based consumer video storage and editing platform. [1] The company was formed in 2007, in Englewood, CO as a media conversion service.[2] In 2013, Pixorial was chosen as one of two video storage companies to partner with the launch of Google Drive. [3] Pixorial allows users to edit and share videos on social channels by connecting through their Pixorial account. [4]

History

Founded in 2007 and launched in 2009 by Netscape veteran, Andres Espineira, Pixorial sought to capitalize on media conversion in the digital age. [5] With a new focus on easy to use video editing software in 2009, Pixorial began developing an app that would be launched for iOS and Android users in 2011. [6] Later developments in the app in 2012 would also included real time filters, which were later removed. [7] With the launch of Google Drive in 2012, Pixorial was chosen as an integrated video partner. [8] This integration with Google Drive allowed users to access videos stored in Google Drive within the web app of Pixorial. [9] After the Google Drive launch, Pixorial developed a crowd sourced, location based video sharing app, Krowds. [10] The app was cited in July of 2012 by PC Magazine as one of "The 8 Best Apps for Making and Sharing Videos on Your iPhone". [11] In late July, Pixorial replaced its original mobile app with the MyPlayer HD app that optimized HD video viewing for large screen viewing including tablets and smart televisions. [12]
