About PixelJoint

PixelJoint is a website for pixel art. It hosts a gallery where members upload pixel artwork, along with a community forum and news about pixel art. Its main activity is a series of weekly pixel art challenges, each with a theme and fixed technical rules. Members upload their entries to the gallery and post a framed version to a forum thread where all entries are collected.

The site also runs voting on challenge themes and palettes through Discord, announces challenge winners, and gives awards for comments and favourites. The homepage does not describe account requirements, upload rules beyond challenge specifications, or any fees, so those details are not covered here.
