Paint by Number vs Pixel Paint

Paint by Number is a coloring game in which pictures are divided into numbered cells, each matched to a color. Players fill the cells to turn an image into a painting; the maker describes the gameplay as simulating real painting. It is available on Android, iOS, and Windows, with offline access and numbered coloring as its listed mode. The maker says its artists create textured and gradient paintings, describes the game as suitable for all ages, and highlights coloring and stories in picture books.

The game has a free plan at free and a listed 3-day trial. Its terms describe premium access through a one-time lifetime purchase or monthly or yearly app-store subscriptions, but prices are unspecified. The maker may offer a premium trial that requires a payment method and subscription frequency; after the trial, the selected subscription is charged. Users may create profiles to track progress and sync activity across devices, and may register with Facebook or Google credentials. The maker says the service is intended for learning, gaming, and entertainment, and limits use to personal, non-commercial purposes. Users can join the maker’s Facebook community for daily activities and bonus pictures.

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].
