Pixi0.0.1

Originating in classic video games, which had to use a limited number of pixels for graphics due to the hardware limitations of the time, pixel art has seen a resurgence in recent years. Mostly used by indie game developers and nostalgics, pixel art can be created with any raster graphics editor, but a specialized utility might be more suitable.Pixi is a tiny, open-source program designed to provide users with a straightforward way of creating simple pixel art. It is in the early stages of development, however, and it offers a very limited set of tools at present.

Create pixel art for your projects

When it comes down to it, any raster graphics editor can be used to make pixel art, but this utility was specifically designed for this purpose.To begin with, create a new canvas by specifying its width and height in pixels. Next, you can add color to individual pixels and draw lines, circles or squares. You can also take advantage of a fill tool and color picker, as well as erase pixels and undo various actions.

Not the most advanced graphics editor

We’ve already covered most of the features offered by this program. However, it is worth mentioning that you can assign different colors to the left and right mouse buttons to save time, and you can make any pixel transparent.Those are all the tools you have at your disposal. This application was designed as a simpler alternative to more complex graphics editors, so the limited number of features is understandable. However, it is still an early release, so we may see more improvements in later versions.To sum up, Pixi is a good choice for users who need a simple, no-nonsense pixel art creator. It is suitable for small-scale projects, but it lacks advanced features and sports a rather outdated user interface.
