Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Turn real places into pixel art. Create from your location, team up with others, publish your work, and explore a living canvas shaped by creators worldwide.
The world is your canvas.
Paint real places. Leave your mark. Watch the world evolve.
Pixterra transforms the real world into a persistent pixel canvas shared by creators everywhere. Every pixel is placed by a real person, every artwork becomes part of the world’s history, and every location can be transformed into something unforgettable.
Start where you stand, explore the creations of others, and help build a living world that never stops changing.
CREATE FROM YOUR LOCATION
Every creator begins somewhere.
Use your location to establish a creation origin and unlock the surrounding area. Pick a color, place pixels one at a time, and slowly turn ordinary places into extraordinary pixel art.
Design icons, characters, local landmarks, symbols, murals, or completely original creations. Every pixel you place becomes part of a persistent world shared by creators across the globe.
Natural Paint regenerates over time, making every pixel a meaningful creative choice.
BUILD A WORLD TOGETHER
The map is never finished.
Thousands of creators shape the same living canvas every day. New artworks appear, old ones evolve, colors change, and every visit reveals something different.
Your creations become part of a world that is always growing.
PUBLISH YOUR ARTWORK
Turn any completed area into a public artwork.
Give it a name, share it with the community, revisit it later, and watch its story continue as the surrounding world evolves.
Build your own collection of creations and leave a lasting mark on places that matter to you.

Zoom across continents, countries, cities, and neighborhoods to discover what others have created.

REPAIR, RECOLOR, AND RECLAIM
