Welcome to the official tool documentation, here you'll find information on the current tools available in PixaPencil.

Pencil tool

The pencil tool is the most basic and simple tool you'll find in the app. It functions exactly how a regular pencil tool might function in another pixel art application such as Aseprite.

To use the tool, simply tap, and while holding your finger on the screen, move it (your finger) to draw your desired path. If the result is too pixelated for your liking, then your canvas size may be too small.

Fill tool

The fill tool 'fills' adjacent pixels which are similar in color value with the user's selected color. This tool is useful when you might want to color in large areas inside your projects.

Square tool

The square tool gives you the ability to draw filled or outlined squares. It functions similarly to the rectangle tool, the only difference is that it allows you to draw perfect squares.
