Pixel Studio: pixel art editor

Pixel Studio is my favorite mobile pixel art editor. It is fully featured and runs relatively smooth even when my projects become complicated. I have one major suggestion, however: The menus in this app are very confusing. It took me a long time to memorize what was where. The Menu, Settings, Layer Options, and Functions and any other options page should be on their own bar or section separate from the tools bar. Thank you so much for this app, I gladly purchased the pro version!

I don't think there's an option for roatating objects or layers and likewise a shortcut to returning them to their original positions and state without relying solely on the undo button. You can rotate the image using the features button but I have yet to find a way of selecting the layer and having complete control over its revolution or rotation whether it's a subtle tilt or a diagnol rotation as opposed to only vertical and horizontal rotation. If that feature could be added it'd really help!

I love it so much, it's really good even without premium. It's beginner and advanced friendly. It give you two types of set ups for that purpose. You can also animate but I find it kinda difficult. Although, I'm a beginner so that speaks for itself. Not really any ads and the ones there are, are really quick, so you can get back to work. Overall I really love this app and would recommend to anyone <3

This app is by far, the most advanced pixel art app I've ever found on this store. Absolutely gorgeous, and it doesn't have constant ads covering the screen what so ever. Its got basic tools, a gradient color wheel, layering, and even a frame by frame animation system. Plus, it's got plenty of slots to slave all your colors! Absolutely, love this app!!

So far, this app is great! I like that there's a shape tool so you can easily make a circle with just dragging~ My only complaint is that I frequently get an error with loading and using color palettes. I save the files correctly, and they're in the correct place, yet I get a red screen and an error half of the time, even with copy pasting the name to download it from the app.

The app contains pixel art tutorials that I found extremely helpful, and its relatively easy to use to make pixel art and animations. Thankfully, you dont have to pay to get everything, just a few extra features that I don't find necessary (but I am an amateur and just doing this for fun). Very useful app, only has a few ads and is great for making little fun animations on the go. There are a few minor bugs, but it has not affected me very much. 10/10 would doodle again.

When I save a completed drawing to .png it downgrades the quality. The indiviadual pixels are noticably more fuzzy, which ruins the original sharp look. Other than that, this is my favorite pixel app! It's easy to draw on and has some functions I never thought I needed. Layering function is a bit glitchy sometimes, but I'm just happy layering is an option. The... downgrade in quality is a bummer, though.

It was going good, I had just finished my project and went to animate it, I had accidentally opened a blank frame and went to delete it, I selected the blank frame and went to delete it, but it deleted the frame I had spent hours working on... I am not happy about this at all, hours of work gone, just like that! Could you at least make it to where we can restore our work?? Smh, but overall a good app...

As far as creating goes, I love this app. But the file management feels a little buggy. Like when I save a file, it doesn't show the other files in the folder so I'm not sure I'm saving it exactly where I want it to be. It would also be nice if I could save to external storage for keeping files backed up, but it doesn't seem like I can completely control the file path, it only lets me create folders. Also, Pixel Network says I have no previous works, but I just uploaded one a couple days ago.

Saving is corrupted. It's pretty much worthless until fixed. I'll keep it installed and try again in a few months, I'll confirm my review at that point in time. All I did was made a pixel donut on a single layer using simple features to test. Nothing complicated, took 5 minutes. Saved. Reloaded. When I came back, my background was no longer transparent, some pixels were missing, only the 5-10 pixels I erased before saving were transparent etc. Definitely needs to be fixed to be used.

Really good app, my go too for sure. Only issue I've experienced recently is when saving something and renaming it, when I go to save it again, I'll have to rename it again. I've also had multiple pieces be thrown around, layers deleted, flipped, etc, after saving and opening a few hours later. Until those are fixed I'm gonna have to stay at 3 stars.

While I want to rate this program 4 stars, I simply can't. Every update seems to just add more bugs. The new update breaks the zoom function! When zooming in and out it randomly jumps across the screen! Also, please allow HD exporting of videos in pro edition! Please also add clipping mask, and make the brush system work like aseprite, If you fix these things it could be a 5 star app! ...the lack of developer response or even noticing of feedback is also abysmal.

Pixel Studio packs a punch for mobile pixel editing, but it's no Aseprite! At ~$12 for the Cross Pro license, the clunky UI and shaky sync features make it tough to use smoothly. It's hard to manage layers effectively and figuring out saving options had me reeling. While it's the best option available right now for editing on the go, it definitely needs improvements. I'm sticking with it but hoping that future updates streamline the experience. I want it to succeed and hope the feedback it heard

Installed a while back with the intent of making stuff eventually. My first few works sucked, but I was working at it. Then I stopped using it for a month or two, life got complicated. Came back, found they'd added this incessant, droning, 5 second music loop to the app, it changes when you close it out, and re-open. Should've gotten tipped off by the insistence on reading the tos. It states they can display media, but that's real deceptive. Do not install

I used to love this app, but it's skating on thin ice as of recent. Every update adds varying bugs, shoves more ads in your face, makes it generally more annoying to use and it's actually really starting to frustrate me. The new current bug of the week is that it is playing the audio of unseen ads in my ear, which is riding off the back of a previous update which added ads that not only have a timer on every exit button, WHICH is riding off the back of ads that hard stop my background videos.

You can use this app for a variety of things...making 2D characters for an indie game, coloring photos of real life images...it's a real swiss army knife app. Only gripe is...you cannot use the fill bucket option to fill in an object that wasn't drawn in app..as it doesn't recognize the pencil or pen drawn object as a shape, but more so a cluster of pixels:(sometimes only one pixel). Only downside with this is time however. Great app, bought the PRO version and I dig it 👍🏿

Before this app existed, I used DotPict. And while it is lovely in many ways, it's also sorely lacking in features. Enter Pixel Studio. Its aim is to be a professional-level art program, on mobile devices, for making pixel art. And it does exactly that. At worst, I had a few crashes, but the backup system ensured my work was safe. It has a wide assortment of tools, but they're never shoved in your face, and they're straightforward. Overall, I've been loving it, and will continue using it.
