PIXIO Pixel Studio
Read full descriptionHide full description
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 β’ 8Γ8, 16Γ16, 32Γ32 and 64Γ64 canvases. Switching size is lossless: the picture is always kept at 64Γ64, and a coarser size simply paints whole blocks. β’ Pencil, eraser, flood fill and colour picker. β’ Horizontal, vertical or both-ways symmetry, plus flip and rotate. β’ Layers on every frame: add, reorder, hide and delete them, with 50 steps of undo and redo per layer. β’ A quick palette of the colours already in your picture, a 132-colour grid, a saturation/brightness panel and a hue slider. ANIMATE β’ A frame timeline with duplicate and delete. β’ Onion skin with adjustable opacity, so the previous frame shows through while you draw the next one. β’ Playback from 1 to 60 frames per second. GESTURES β’ One finger paints. Two fingers pan, and pinch to zoom around your fingers. β’ Two-finger tap to undo, three-finger tap to redo. β’ Tap the zoom percentage to snap back to 100 %. EXPORT β’ Save the current frame as a crisp 2048Γ2048 PNG to Photos. β’ Export the whole animation as a looping 512Γ512 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.
