What's New in Pixel.exe

1.2

November 6, 2026

We've added support for iPhone Duo, with a refined experience that looks and feels great on your device. The colour palette is now fully draggable, so you can position it wherever works best for you. We've also added quick Undo and Redo buttons to the main toolbar, making it easier to make adjustments while you draw.

User reviews

Very good!

The only thing I think it’s missing is the right-click eraser trick which I use alot for sketching so I kinda have to sketch in paint 98 first then transfer it to here lol otherwise I really love the color options here and that some of the tools that didn’t work very well in the other app work better here!

the text tool for example looks way better and I haven’t used this app long enough yet but i get the feeling it saves way more art than the other one since you can sort by name and date.

Almost perfect

If there was a shortcut or something to undo / redo this would be a perfect 5/5.

Response from developer

UPDATE: we have added a quick undo and redo shortcut to the top of the tool menu in the most recent update. Thank you so much for this feedback. It makes the app better for everyone. Thank you so much for the review, and I will add an easy undo/redo floating icon to assist with this in a future update. Currently there is actually is an Undo/redo feature but it is hidden, you have to open the “Edit” menu where you will find “Undo” and “Repeat”. Rest assured I will improve this UX and make editing more fun will more accessible actions 😊

Like the good ol’ days

It’s good. I just wish it had a quick undo/redo button somewhere on screen or maybe with gestures

Response from developer

UPDATE: We added undo and redo buttons to the top of the floating tools panel in the most recent update. We hope this improves the experience. Thank you so much for trying our app and for taking the time to leave a review. A quick undo/redo option is a great suggestion. Currently, undo and repeat are located in the Edit menu to stay true to the original program, but we agree that quicker access through on-screen buttons or gestures could be a useful improvement. We’ll keep this in mind as we continue improving the app.
