We’re excited to announce that Pixelmash 2026.0 is now available! This release supercharges your creative process with new customizable layer effects presets, the ability to work on multiple files at once, and adds far more powerful ways to turn any image into gorgeous pixel art in seconds.

The brand-new Effects Presets menu lets you instantly load pre-made layer FX setups or save your own, making it faster than ever to experiment with different lighting, shading, and color styles. You can now also open multiple Pixelmash windows at the same time with the New Window command in the File menu, perfect for juggling several related assets.

Meanwhile, the improved Auto Palette effect (formerly Auto Limit Colors) has been rebuilt...

We’re thrilled to announce that Pixelmash 2025.2 has arrived, and it brings one of the biggest additions yet to your animation toolkit: layer effects are now fully animatable using keyframes!

This opens the door to all kinds of dynamic possibilities for your pixel art. Imagine a lightning bolt whose glow pulses and fades over time, a character whose clothes shift color as they power up, or a shifting ground shadow that adds depth to a moving scene. Now, effects like Glow, Colorize, Drop Shadow, and more can change over time — seamlessly integrated into Pixelmash’s animation timeline alongside layer transforms and vector shape tweening. The result? Complex animated effects made far easier than in traditional pixel art editors.

Also in this release are a bunch of handy workflow improvements, including being able to set custom grid line spacing, being able to use up and down keyboard arrow keys to increment/decrement input field values, and more!
