About pixieditor

PixiEditor is a desktop application for creating and editing 2D graphics, combining pixel art, painting, vector drawing, and animation in one workspace. Its different toolsets can be used together on a single canvas, so an image can mix raster artwork, made from individual pixels, with scalable vector shapes and paths. This makes it suitable for work ranging from pixel-style game sprites and animated scenes to illustrations, icons, and logos. The application is described as cross-platform and is listed for Windows, macOS, and Linux; it can also work offline. For pixel art, PixiEditor provides tools designed for precise placement and clean edges, including a pixel-perfect pen mode and palette-management features. Its raster tools support selecting, removing, clipping, and resizing image content, as well as sketching and painting with brushes and shapes. Vector tools let users create and edit curves and shapes, with snapping to help align elements. Because raster and vector tools share a canvas, users can combine pixel-based details with artwork that stays sharp when resized. Customizable toolsets and an extension browser let users adjust the available tools for a project. The editor also supports frame-by-frame animation through a timeline. A node graph provides another way to build graphics: users connect processing steps to compose effects and customize layers, and can use nodes to create procedural images or animations. Layers and effects are represented in the graph or produced by its connections, so the structure of a document can be adjusted as part of the image-making process. The brush engine is node-based as well, allowing users to build or adjust brushes, sample layers, and use custom shaders. Finished work can be exported in formats including PNG, JPEG, SVG, GIF, and MP4. Together, these capabilities let a project move from drawing and image editing through compositing and animation within the same application.
