Welcome to Dixel

Welcome to the Dixel blog.

Dixel is a native Android pixel-art editor — built for drawing pixel art directly on phones, tablets, and foldables, with a layout that adapts to whatever screen you're on.

What Dixel is about

Dixel keeps the focus tight: pixel-perfect drawing tools, layers with blend modes, palettes you can build or borrow, selections and transforms, and local-first .dxl project files that live on your device. Imports use Android's system photo picker, and your art only leaves the device when you export it.

If you're new here, the documentation is the best place to start, and the getting started guide walks through your first project end to end.

What this blog is for

This is where we'll post:

• Release notes as new versions ship.
• Workflow tips for getting more out of the tools.
• Development updates on what we're building next.

Thanks for stopping by — there's a lot more to come.
