Start with a Photo
Tap the Open icon on the home screen or the Import menu in the editor. Choose an image and a canvas format, then crop, rotate, or scale if needed. PIXTUDIO instantly converts it into beautiful pixel art.
How PIXTUDIO Works
Explore PIXTUDIO scenarios for opening images and projects, shooting with a camera, drawing from a blank canvas, saving projects, exporting pixel art, editing palettes, trying pixelization methods, and recording the pixelization process.
Shoot with Camera
Tap the Camera icon on the home screen, or open the Import menu in the editor and choose Camera. Take a photo directly with your device, choose a canvas format, then crop, rotate, or scale if needed.
Draw from a Blank Canvas
Tap the Blank Canvas icon on the home screen, or open the Import menu in the editor and choose Blank Canvas. Choose a canvas format and brush size, then start drawing with colors from the auto palette or import your own.
Save Your Project
Save your work as a .pixtudio file so you can continue editing later with everything restored.
Open a Saved Project
Tap the Open icon on the home screen, or open the Import menu in the editor and select your .pixtudio file. Quickly return to any of your projects and continue right where you stopped.
Export Your Pixel Art
Export as PNG for social media and web use, SVG for high-quality printing and merch, XLSX for office tasks and spreadsheet decoration, or ZIP to package PNG, SVG, and XLSX together.
Edit Color Swatches
Change a color, make a swatch transparent, or delete it from the palette. All connected pixels on the canvas update instantly.
Add New Custom Colors
Create your own colors and keep full control while changing grid size.
Apply Custom Palette
Import a palette from any image or saved project and instantly give your artwork a new look using your own colors or built-in presets such as Sunset, Grayscale, and Black & White.
Fine-Tune the Source Image
Tap the reference image button below the canvas to open image adjustment controls. Adjust Exposure, Highlights, Midtones, Shadows, Saturation, and White Balance non-destructively.
Record Pixelization Video
Create a timelapse video of the pixelization process and export it as MP4.
Try Pixelization Method
Compare pixelization methods and color spaces, preview the result, then apply the pair you like. Auto palettes can be rebuilt; fixed palettes map the image into your current colors.
