The interface looks like Photoshop and can be commonly called as Online Photoshop. Tools like Lasso, Marquee, Move, Text, Paint, Wand, Brush and more available in Pixlr Editor. Menus contains most of the major operations for adjustments to be performed in the picture you open. You may also create a new picture in Pixlr Editor.
