About PixiEditor
PixiEditor is a free and open-source 2D graphics editor for pixel art, raster image editing, vector art and frame-by-frame animation. The homepage describes it as a universal editor built around a Node Graph workflow for non-destructive, procedural graphics. The directory lists the platform as web, while the homepage describes a desktop native app that works offline and runs across platforms.
Several features on the 2.2 roadmap, including .PSD file support, an infinite canvas, indexed color support and an extension system, are listed as open proposals rather than released features. The user reviews quoted on the homepage include PixiEditor 1.0, an earlier pixel art editor, so some ratings may not reflect the current version. The homepage states that the app contains no AI. Pricing is not confirmed in this entry.
