Pixorial was a cloud-based consumer photo sharing, video sharing and video editing platform.[1][2] The company was formed in 2007, in Englewood, Colorado as a media conversion service.[3] In 2013, Pixorial was chosen as one of two video storage companies to partner with the launch of Google Drive.

[5]On June 17, 2014, Pixorial announced that it would be shutting down, and that its services would no longer function as of a month later, July 18.[6]

History

The company was founded in 2007 and launched in 2009 by former Netscape employee Andres Espineira.[7] Changing its focus to video editing software in 2009, Pixorial began developing an app that would be launched for iOS and Android devices in 2011. [8] Later developments in the app in 2012 would also included real time filters, which were later removed. [9] With the launch of Google Drive in 2012, Pixorial was chosen as an integrated video partner. [10] This integration with Google Drive allowed users to access videos stored in Google Drive within the web app of Pixorial. [11] After the Google Drive launch, Pixorial developed a crowdsourced, location-based video sharing app, Krowds. [12] 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". [13] 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. [14] Pixorial's services are no longer active as of July 18, 2014.[15]
