Features & Capabilities

Reality is probably overrated. Art is not. Discover the Pixel is Data creative apps series for the iPhone and the Mac and make unexpected pixel art based on your photos.

What if pixels weren't necessarily supposed to look like little squares and sit in the so-called "right order"? What if what we call "real", "true", "figurative" images were not the only way our World can be represented? What if photographic data was just... data? What if it could be reinterpreted?

Select a preset and/or set your own parameters, give the app a photo to process and bang, you've got art. Find out more on Instagram at @pixelisdata and by searching for #pixelisdata.

User Reviews

Users broadly praise Pixel is Data for its fun, engaging experience and the unique glitch/abstract art it can produce. Many find the app creatively inspiring, with solid customization options and visually striking results that work well for social sharing. However, several recurring concerns emerge: the lack of reliable high-resolution exports or inconsistent hi-res support, a desire for more rendering parameters and pattern options, and stability/compatibility issues related to app updates and newer iOS versions. Overall, it's a free, enjoyable tool with a dedicated user base that would benefit from stronger export capabilities, more customization, and better OS/device compatibility.

Cons

Demand for high-resolution export / hi-res support missing or inconsistent

This a nice pixel rendering app I’ve used off and on when my creativity flame itches, but I think the recent updates have broken my saved preferences. Photos render skewed to the right when it shouldn’t. Another improvement I’d like to see is more rendering parameters. Maybe adjusting the parameters could render the image in real time? Overall a good app to spend some time with and getting creative.
