Pixel vs PIXIO Pixel Studio

Your photo, turned into a pattern you can actually make. Pixela turns any picture into a crisp pixel grid with a tidy color palette and a printable chart — so you can recreate it however you like: • Perler / Hama beads — get the bead-by-bead layout for your next fuse-bead art. • Cross-stitch & embroidery — symbols per color and a printable chart to stitch from. • Knitting & crochet — color-work charts (intarsia, tapestry, C2C, jacquard): one square per stitch/block. • Quilting & patchwork — each pixel becomes a fabric square. • Pixel art, sprites & icons — turn a photo or your own drawing/sketch into true pixels with a controlled palette; export a clean PNG. • Event & stadium mosaics — plan "pixel performances" and card stunts, seat by seat, sized in meters. • Wall decor & murals — set the centimeters per tile and get the real wall size to paint or tile. • LEGO & brick mosaics — each pixel is one brick on the baseplate. • LED matrices & low-res screens — a pixel map to wire or program each LED. • Gifts & keepsakes — turn a pet, a portrait, or a logo into a handmade piece. • Drawings, coloring pages & templates — a ready-made grid to trace, color, or hand off. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • Pick a photo — Pixela builds the pattern in seconds. • Control the look — set the number of columns and palette colors with live sliders. • Color symbols — every color gets a letter so it's easy to follow (great for color-vision needs). • Printable PDF — a clean legend plus the full symbol chart, ready to print or share. • Export a clean PNG — the pure pixel art with no grid or symbols, ready to use as a sprite, sticker, or poster. • Real thread colors — see the nearest DMC floss for every color, and swap any color for the one you prefer. • Real finished size at any scale — stitches (Aida), beads, or big tiles; shown in cm or meters, so you can size a wall mural or a whole stadium mosaic. • Track your progress — mark finished cells and watch your % climb. • Pinch to zoom, tap "1:1" to see the whole thing — built for big, detailed pieces. • Works offline — everything is processed on your device. Your photos never leave it. FAIR PRICING Unlock everything with a single one-time purchase — no subscription, ever. Private by design: your photos are processed on-device and are never uploaded.

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.
