## Review summary

Pix2D is praised for its intuitive UI, free/ad-free access, animation features, and solid layer/frames support, plus handling of large sheets. But recurring issues undermine the experience: frequent crashes and freezes, and serious data loss of saved work after updates, plus layer/selection glitches. Reviewers also note missing essential tools (color picker, palette management, shading/FX, tilemaps) and some device-specific instability. Overall, it’s usable and promising but needs stability and feature completeness.

### Pros

- Intuitive, easy-to-use UI
- Free to use and ad-free
- Animation features available
- Supports layers and frames
- Good for working with large sheets and precise pixel work

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and freezing / stability issues
- Data loss or saved artwork disappearing after updates or glitches
- Layer and tool glitches (poofing layers, delete crashes, finicky selection/lasso)
- Missing essential features (color picker and palette management, shading/FX, tilemap) and some features not yet implemented
- Device-specific glitches on certain hardware (e.g., some tablets)
