Core Features: [Professional Drawing Tools] An eraser that removes by color block, a paint bucket with drag-to-fill, one-tap outlining, and line, rectangle, and ellipse tools that make every stroke effortless. The lasso tool lets you cut, copy, paste, select all, or invert a selection — and paste across layers or even across canvases. Vertical, horizontal, and diagonal symmetry axes mean you never have to draw a mirrored pattern twice. [Layer Management] Full multi-layer drawing with one-tap clear, duplicate, and focus mode for every layer. [Handy Gestures] Two-finger undo, three-finger redo, and the "Magic Cube" — a floating widget that toggles color codes and replays your creation process. [Ironing-Effect Preview] Preview six realistic ironing finishes: full melt (no-hole), bath-mitt texture, towel texture, coarse glitter, fine glitter, and linen. [One-Tap Pixelization] Turn photos and cartoon images into pixel art in a single tap, with your choice of style and target color count. [All-in-One Share Image Studio] Create social-media-ready images right inside the app — swap backgrounds, add pattern shadows, and more. [Fully Customizable Pattern Export] Major and minor grid lines, ruler colors, color card styles, signature and text watermarks, mirrored output, and export-by-color — tune everything until it's exactly how you want it. [iCloud Cross-Device Creating] Your work syncs in real time between iPad and iPhone via iCloud. [Built-in Pegboard] Import smart PDF patterns, .handpix files, or your in-app projects — then build bead by bead, sorted by color code or split into 5x5、10×10 sections. [Who Is It For?] - Pattern designers: draw efficiently, preview the finished look, export social covers, and share patterns in multiple formats. - Bead hobbyists: turn your avatar, pet, favorite artwork, or original characters into bead patterns. - Bead and craft shops: design, adjust, and deliver ready-to-build patterns for your customers. Supports Apple Pencil and touch. Long-press anywhere to discover 130+ features! Handpix — the professional pixel artist's choice.
