## What is Pixel Art Maker?

Pixel Canvas is a simple, focused pixel art maker for creating original pixel drawings and transforming photos into pixel-style artwork.

Start with a blank pixel board, choose your canvas size, pick your colors, and draw pixel by pixel. Customize the board color, switch to the eraser, show or hide grid lines, invert grid line colors, and clear the board when you want to start fresh.

You can also import a photo and instantly apply a pixel effect. Choose from multiple pixel density levels to control the final look, from chunky retro blocks to more detailed pixelated images.

When your artwork is ready, export a clean image directly to your photo library.

Features:
- Create pixel art from scratch
- Choose from multiple board sizes
- Draw with custom pixel colors
- Change the board background color
- Use an eraser tool for quick edits
- Show, hide, or invert grid lines
- Clear the board and start over
- Import photos and apply a pixel effect
- Adjust pixel density for different styles
- Save finished artwork to Photos

Pixel Canvas is designed for quick creative sessions, retro-style image making, profile art, icons, stickers, game-inspired visuals, and anyone who enjoys the clean charm of pixel art.
