Pixelux is the only AR studio that combines AI inspiration, AR tracing, and AI-assisted editing in one place. Every other AR art app does one thing. Pixelux does everything. Not sure what to draw? Let AI generate ideas on the spot. Pick one, project it into the real world through your camera, and start creating. No blank page, no frustration. Already have a subject in mind? Place any reference directly onto your canvas with AR and trace over it at any scale. Whether you are sketching a portrait, studying proportions, or planning a painting, the reference moves with your surface so your hands stay free to draw. Finished a piece and want to take it further? Scan your physical artwork and use AI to test edits, refine details, and explore new directions without touching the original. Your work stays safe. Your ideas stay limitless. Pixelux also lets you place your finished art into the real world at full scale using AR, so you can see exactly how a piece looks in your space before it ever hits the wall. Under the hood you get over 30 brushes, full layer support, and a complete color suite with HSL, RGB, palettes, and custom themes. All the tools a serious artist needs, built into one app. AI tools are available with Pixelux Spark or Studio. Everything else is free. Your hand. Your vision. AI just helps.
