User Reviews

New Pixels offers a beautiful, calming pixel-art experience with a playful toolset and community features, but it suffers from color palette limitations, some UX friction, occasional upload/export bugs, and limited undo/history that users frequently call for improving.
Pros
  • Beautiful, visually appealing and user-friendly UI
  • Calming, meditative experience that helps relaxation and creativity
  • Flexible pixel-art toolset with diverse shapes and colors that inspire art directions
  • Strong community features and inspiration through cloud gallery, challenges, and social presence
Cons
  • Limited color palettes and color selection can hinder creativity; missing color combinations
  • UI/UX friction and non-intuitive flows; tedious to reselect tiles and iPhone keyboard issues
  • Occasional upload/export issues (designs uploading broken; export to photos not working; reliability concerns)
  • Undo/redo history is limited; users want more undo steps and smoother undo/redo gestures

This app is great but desperately needs some quality of life improvements. Also uploading designs has been broken since the server or something went down, please don’t give up on this little gem!

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.

I’m still getting used to it but this app is great for making little creations when you’re just waiting around or whatever
