Common complaints
Several customers report that paper quality has declined, feeling cheaper than in previous years and causing poor color rendering, such as skin tones appearing green. Some note limited control over image placement, inability to freely move or resize photos, and no support for certain paper types like Edelmatt. The app’s text and layout handling is criticized as rigid and unintuitive.

How it has changed over time
Pixum’s material and design features have seen a clear upward trend in customer satisfaction since late 2025. Early 2026 reviews show higher ratings, with multiple 5-star mentions and improved feedback on usability and print quality. Recent updates appear to have resolved earlier frustrations with layout flexibility and app performance. However, some users still report unresolved issues with paper consistency and image sharpness.

Practical takeaways
Higher-end paper types deliver better texture and color accuracy than standard options. Users needing precise image placement should avoid the app’s default templates. Testing print quality with a small order is recommended before larger projects. The platform works well for casual users but may frustrate those seeking full creative control.
What customers said:
