New Pixels FAQ
Is New Pixels free?
Yes, New Pixels is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is New Pixels legit?
✅ The New Pixels app appears to be high-quality and legitimate. Users are very satisfied.
I have been using this app almost every week for almost two years now and it’s fantastic! I hope that it get some QoL changes though bc I feel it would truly help it excel. The recent changes to the undo function is a great example of the changes I hope are in store! Thanks for amazing app!
Has a lot of potential for designers
App is beautiful and user friendly. I run a small record label and E-store; the main art style uses a lot of tiling on square grids. Using New Pixels actually inspired the art direction. I’ve learned though that It’s incredibly hard to make this kind of art in illustrator- New Pixels is the only app that’s doing it.
I realize the software is geared towards casual users and not as much graphic designers, but these are the features I’d love to see:
-it’s tedious to have to reselect tiles every time you draw; would be much more enjoyable if you could continue drawing even if you lift your finger/stylus. Especially for doing diagonal lines.
-Double finger undo + triple finger redo gestures would be cool, I always go for that because I’m used to procreate and affinity designer.
-More undo history, at least one or two more.
-Png or svg support. I get it if it’s a feature that might confuse casual users though.
-Exporting to photos is not working for me. It only works if I share to Dropbox, which is fine but just thought I’d let you know.
Kudos to the developers, it’s a lovely app and can’t wait to use more.
New favorite app
I’m still getting used to it but this app is great for making little creations when you’re just waiting around or whatever
Meditative, stimmy, creative downtime
This app is great for meditative, stimmy, creative downtime. I would recommend this to my therapist to share with other patients because it helps me feel calm, relaxed, optimistic, and happy.
Fun but hard to use
The idea is great, but the ui is not intuitive and it makes it hard to constantly draw without getting frustrated
PLEASE HELP
Theres no "forgot" information button, i forgot my username and now cant get back my over 100 new pixels i created please fix this i cant be the only one
Is it my phone?
I'm making this simple, how come this doesn't work on my phone-when you have to create a new account I can't touch the create button because the keyboard is in my way and when I press it again, it deletes everything.
Best experience, and more than just the app
The app itself is brand new and has many flaws. But the art is amazing, and you can make the coolest things if you just put 2 hrs into a beautiful piece of art. But there’s also a twitter page for the app (@NewPixelsApp) that really makes it stand out, you can have casual chats with the creator, participate and weekly challenges, and try to get your artwork featured on Twitter! There’s so much more to this app then meets the eye, so find your art and other’s art and express yourself!
Cute
You can pretty much create anything you want with this app once you figure out everything. Cute and fun
A great app even with some drawbacks
The tools given to make these pixel art drawings are very easy to use. Not only easy, but fun too.
There are only two drawbacks I’ve run into
1) Color Combos
There just simply aren’t all the color combos needed. I had made a character that had an orange at with a yellow background. I either had to keep the hat as blocks or change the background. It’s never fun to compromise like this when creating.
2) Image Quality
When saving images, the pixel art turns a bit fuzzy. It seems odd, considering that these designs look great and clean, then when saved the colors have some jpeg artifacts in it.
Even with these drawbacks, this app is great. Once there is an update or two, this app is a must have.
(Edited, I didn’t see that there is a save function I see that now)
