Pixia is a freeware raster graphics editor for Microsoft Windows. Developed by the Japanese programmer Sae, it was first released in 1999. The software offers a range of image editing tools, including layers, filters, drawing tools, and support for various file formats such as BMP, JPEG, PNG, and GIF. Pixia is designed primarily for creating and editing digital artwork, illustrations, and photographs, and it provides features comparable to those found in commercial programs like Paint Shop Pro. The application is distributed under a non-commercial license, allowing free personal use while prohibiting commercial exploitation without permission from the developer. Regular updates have added functionality such as Unicode text support, customizable brush dynamics, and enhanced color management. Pixia is primarily used by hobbyist artists and amateur designers.
