PixiEditor

PixiEditor provides a single desktop application for creating and editing 2D graphics across a range of styles. Its node‑graph workflow lets users build non‑destructible procedural visuals, combine raster and vector layers, and compose custom brush effects. The editor includes dedicated pixel‑art tools with palette management, a node‑based brush engine for freeform drawing, and vector shape editing with snapping for logos, icons, and illustrations.

Image‑editing features cover basic raster operations such as selection, deletion, clipping, and resizing, while a timeline supports frame‑by‑frame animation creation. Users can also extend functionality through an extension browser that loads additional plugins and shaders.

The software is free, open source, and runs natively on macOS, designed for offline use without AI components. Development follows a community‑driven roadmap where proposals are voted on, and the current stable release includes smart layers, customizable toolsets, and ongoing improvements to brush and animation capabilities.
