Question 3

I am a student, can I apply for the Pixlr for Education program?

Accepted Answer

We are currently not accepting applications from individual students, This is primarily because individual students lack the necessary authorization to facilitate domain whitelisting for an entire educational institution, including schools and school districts.

It's important to highlight that Pixlr adheres to stringent privacy protocols. Consequently, any directive pertaining to domain whitelisting needs to originate from a verified school staff member. We recommend that this responsibility falls upon a teacher or the head of the IT department.

Should you desire access to Pixlr for Education, we kindly request that you approach your respective teacher. We encourage you to request your teacher's assistance in signing up on behalf of the school. This streamlined process ensures that the proper channels are followed, in line with both the schools and Pixlr's privacy guidelines.

Question 15

Can I, as the educator, be allowed to generate a standard account on behalf of my students?

Accepted Answer

To receive access to Pixlr for Education, all users must independently establish their accounts on Pixlr.com, and a verification code will be sent to the respective email addresses. Hence, we recommend that each student creates their own account and completes the verification process individually.

Question 16

I have filled up the application form, I have asked my students to create a regular account on Pixlr.com but they don’t receive the verification code in their email?

Accepted Answer

Our understanding is that this issue might arise due to your school domain email system blocking external emails. To resolve this, we recommend coordinating with your school's technical team to add Pixlr.com to the whitelist. This adjustment will enable the verification code to successfully reach your students' email accounts.
