Text And Shapes
Text and shapes add labels, diagrams, and clean graphic elements to painted artwork. Keeping these elements editable makes it easier to change wording, adjust alignment, or reuse a composition at another size.
Saving And Working Together
Pixels supports both shared space documents and local imported projects. Knowing which one is open tells you where your work is saved and whether another person can join it.
Layers And Masks
Layers keep the pieces of a Pixels composition independent. Use them to move a character without moving the background, try a different title, or adjust lighting without repainting the source.
Pixels Guide
Pixels combines layered artwork, image adjustments, and frame animation. Start with the workspace, then choose the guide for the picture or sprite you want to make.
Import And Export
Choose an export according to what the next person needs: an editable Pixels project, a finished image, or a file for another editor. The extension alone does not guarantee that every layer feature remains editable.
Frame Animation
Frame animation turns a sequence of drawings into motion. Each Pixels frame contains independent artwork, so you can change a pose without changing the frames before and after it.
Drawing And Selections
Drawing in Pixels combines precise pencil work with brushes, fills, gradients, and selections. Choose a small hard-edged tool for individual pixels, or a brush for softer strokes and larger painted areas.
Color And Adjustments
Pixels offers two ways to refine an image: change its painted pixels, or keep the change as an editable adjustment above the artwork. Choose an adjustment layer when you want to compare versions or return to the settings later.
Save And Export A Project
Keep an editable Pixels project and prepare a finished image or exchange file without confusing the two outcomes.
