Pixorial was a cloud-based consumer photo sharing, video sharing and video editing platform.[1] The company was formed in 2007 in Centennial, Colorado 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] On June 17, 2014, Pixorial announced that its services would no longer function as of a month later, July 18, 2014.[5] The company has since signed a definite agreement with LifeLogger Technologies Corp. to be acquired.[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 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HD video viewing for large screen viewing including tablets and smart televisions.[14] Pixorial's services are no longer active as of July 18, 2014.[5]
Products
Krowds App
Pixorial's app was launched in April 2013 as a tool to aggregate event videos through location based collections.[15] The app was launched to generally positive review.[15] The application was initially launched for iOS but was followed by an Android release in May.[16]
Movie Creator
Launched July 12, 2012 Pixorial's Movie Creator allows users to edit movies in a simple story-telling platform[16] Movie Creator's features include transitions, text boxes, access to free music tracks, credits, and social media sharing capabilities.[4] The Pixorial platform allows users to view, share, and edit videos without modifying the original.[17] Movie Creator integrates pictures and video to create user movies.[18]
