Swift Pixels vs PIXIO Pixel Studio

Simple and easy to use drawing application to create pixel art. Features: * Unique color palette based on universal color categories. Each color category expands a continuous gamut for that color. * Render pixels as simple squares, 3D boxes, beads, a towel, or as hexagons (hexels). * Save small images as PNG images with transparency (alpha/mask), or save them in hi-res and share them with the world :) * Load and import pictures from your Photo Library, or directly take a picture from your camera.

PIXIO is a small, focused pixel-art studio for iPhone and iPad. Pick a canvas, pick a colour and start painting; when the picture is done, bring it to life as a looping animation. DRAW • 8×8, 16×16, 32×32 and 64×64 canvases. Switching size is lossless: the picture is always kept at 64×64, and a coarser size simply paints whole blocks. • Pencil, eraser, flood fill and colour picker. • Horizontal, vertical or both-ways symmetry, plus flip and rotate. • Layers on every frame: add, reorder, hide and delete them, with 50 steps of undo and redo per layer. • A quick palette of the colours already in your picture, a 132-colour grid, a saturation/brightness panel and a hue slider. ANIMATE • A frame timeline with duplicate and delete. • Onion skin with adjustable opacity, so the previous frame shows through while you draw the next one. • Playback from 1 to 60 frames per second. GESTURES • One finger paints. Two fingers pan, and pinch to zoom around your fingers. • Two-finger tap to undo, three-finger tap to redo. • Tap the zoom percentage to snap back to 100 %. EXPORT • Save the current frame as a crisp 2048×2048 PNG to Photos. • Export the whole animation as a looping 512×512 GIF and share it anywhere. Optional chiptune background music, silent until you choose a song. No accounts, no ads, no in-app purchases and no tracking: your artwork stays on your device.
