## What is PixelAura?

PixelAura is a fast, beautiful layer-based image editor for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Open a photo, stack layers, paint, retouch, and export — all in a clean, distraction-free workspace that gets out of your way.

LAYERS, DONE RIGHT
• Unlimited layers with drag-free reordering, duplicate, merge down, and flatten
• 13 blend modes including Multiply, Screen, Overlay, Soft Light, and Difference
• Per-layer opacity and visibility
• Add photos, text, shapes, and gradients as separate layers

POWERFUL RETOUCHING
• Heal tool — remove blemishes and unwanted objects with content-aware fill
• Blur brush for painting blur exactly where you want it
• One-tap automatic face blurring for protecting identities
• Auto Enhance for instant improvements

PRO COLOR TOOLS
• Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, Warmth, Exposure, Vibrance, and Hue — all with live preview
• 12 filter presets: Sepia, Noir, Chrome, Fade, Instant, Mono, Process, Transfer, Invert, Comic, Pixellate, and Bloom
• Sharpen, noise reduction, and vignette effects

CREATE FROM SCRATCH
• Paint with a soft, pressure-smooth brush in any color
• Eraser with soft falloff
• Text layers with adjustable size and color — tap anywhere to place
• Rectangle and ellipse shapes, filled or outlined
• Beautiful two-color gradient layers

PRIVACY, BUILT IN
• Advanced Filters protect your photos from automated image recognition with adjustable strength, geometric warp, and perceptual masking — subtle to your eyes, disruptive to machines
• All editing happens 100% on your device. No accounts, no uploads, no tracking.

EVERYDAY ESSENTIALS
• Crop, rotate, flip, and resize
• Deep undo and redo history
• Drag & drop, copy & paste
• Pinch to zoom; pan with two fingers on your Mac trackpad
• Export to PNG or JPEG
• Keyboard shortcuts for every tool
• Native on Apple silicon, gorgeous in light and dark mode

Whether you're cleaning up a portrait, building a layered composition, or protecting a photo before sharing it, PixelAura makes it quick — and makes it fun.
