Pixel Paint is a pixel-art coloring app for Android, iOS, and the web. In the installed app, users can select a ready-made puzzle or import a photo, which is converted into a puzzle to color and save to the gallery. The installed app works fully offline, and the free plan includes ready-made puzzles and photo import. In a browser, the free converter accepts JPG, PNG, and WebP files; users choose the pixel size and number of colors, then download a PNG. The converter runs on the user's device, and images are not uploaded. It offers downloads without a watermark or sign-up. A separate free grid maker creates grids from 8×8 to 64×64, available as PNG downloads or blank print templates. Pixel Paint is made by Nadya Yashchuk and Ivan Lukichev, who describe themselves as a two-person remote team. They say they handle support themselves; questions, ideas, and bug reports can be sent to [email protected].
