Tap a number. Watch a picture appear. PixelClarity is a relaxing pixel paint-by-number game. Every picture starts as a grid of numbered squares. Choose a color, fill in the matching squares, and watch the image come to life beneath your finger. No drawing skills, timers, or pressure required. A NEW PICTURE EVERY DAY A fresh puzzle unlocks each day and is added to your calendar. Keep your streak going and watch your gallery fill up. Miss a day? Nothing is lost. You can return and finish it whenever you like. 84 HAND-BUILT PICTURES Discover animals, food, flowers, landmarks, monsters, vehicles, space scenes, shooting stars, and more across 27 categories. Some puzzles are quick and cozy, while others feature large, detailed grids you can enjoy for hours. Surprise puzzles keep the image hidden while you color, revealing it only after the final square is filled.
