Qixel HD is an original and creative drawing app that makes it super-easy for pixel-lovers, designers and retro gamers to make unique qixel art then export your designs to your iPad and iPhone.

Our qixels come in 4 shapes with our unique 3d effect.

Create minimalist images, retro characters and typography with a limited number of qixels and colour palette. Make art or just use it to chill out - its the digital equivalent of popping bubblewrap!

We look forward to seeing your artwork on the Facebook Qixel gallery! Facebook.com/qixelgallery

Heres what you can do with Qixel HD:

- Draw pictures with 4 different pixel types: Squares, Circles, Diamonds and Triangles.

- The canvas background button flips between black or white. This has a very different effect on your qixels.

- Use the darken and lighten buttons to add shade and depth to your art.

- The triangle setting has an extra button: Rotation. Try rotating your triangles 90 degrees to make strange patterns and origami-style art.

- Use Qixel to make quirky typography.

- Write simple messages and greeting cards to send to friends.

- Make cool patterns and abstract backgrounds for websites.

- Create retro game graphics, and then export frames in stages to make animation.

- experiment with colour: great for artists and colour therapy teachers.
