Pixellect
Download free
Own the edit. Delegate the busywork.
A professional Mac image editor with an AI agent that works in your layers. Retouch, generate, and compose. Keep every step editable.
01 / The agent
Pixellect’s agent works with the same document controls you do. It can select, retouch, grade, generate, and export—while every step remains visible and undoable.
Remove the background, bring out the jacket texture, and prepare a web export.
No opaque automation. Every action lands in the layer tree, ready to inspect, adjust, or undo.
02 / One continuous workspace
Start from a prompt, a click, or a familiar tool. Pixellect keeps your work flowing instead of splitting it between disconnected AI apps and an editor.
Start with a click, a box, or a description—then refine with the editor tools you already trust.
Images, vectors, fills, and restorations come back as usable layers, never as a dead end.
Use a full layer tree, masks, operations, type, vectors, and pro-grade adjustments to take it home.
A closer look
From editable image generation to carefully typeset layers, every focused workflow stays inside the same native workspace.
03 / Built for the whole job
Pixellect is a real compositing environment—not a prompt wrapper. Work in pixels, vectors, and text; hold on to the original; ship in the formats your work needs.
Pixel, text, vector, group, adjustment, and effect layers with nested masks and 21 blend modes.
Curves, Levels, HSL, colour balance, LUTs, histograms, and a scientific colour picker.
Clone, heal, blur, distortion, stylisation, alpha effects, and content-aware tools.
Open and export PSD, SVG, HEIF, AVIF, TIFF, WebP, GIF, PNG, and JPEG. Pixellect’s own format keeps your edit history nondestructive by design.
One document, many ways forward
Pixel, text, vector, group, adjustment, and effect layers can live together with nested masks and blend modes. The composite is only the beginning—the structure stays available underneath.
Pixellect, under the hood
Every edit in a .pixellect document is an operation, not a destructive bake-in. Keep working, revisit an adjustment, or change direction days later.

Crop, auto-crop, straighten, perspective correction, free four-corner transform, liquify-style warp, and canvas flip, rotate, or resize.
Brush-based lighten, darken, saturate, desaturate, and smoothing controls, plus texture-aware repair for unwanted details.
Stamp and round tips with pressure, flow, fade, jitter, scatter, angle, and spacing dynamics — plus Photoshop .abr brush import.
Linear and radial gradients with editable colour stops, presets, and a full scientific colour picker for every stop.
Add, subtract, intersect, or invert selections, then feather, expand, or contract them for a clean edge.
Exposure, brightness, contrast, saturation, gamma, hue rotation, shadow recovery, highlight recovery, and Black & White controls.
Noise reduction, debanding, selective colour replacement, and chroma-key colour removal for transparent backgrounds.
Mosaic pixelation, hexagonal pixelation, deconvolution, alpha fill and border, plus Bevel & Emboss.
Clip one layer to the transparency of the layer beneath it, alongside editable vector, text, alpha, and pixel masks.
Lock and hide layers, duplicate them, group or ungroup, merge down, flatten, and transform individual layers without losing control.
Inspect every adjustment and effect, edit its parameters, toggle it on or off, remove it, or apply an effect when you are ready.
Pencil, rectangles, ovals, rounded rectangles, lines, and triangles with editable paths, fills, strokes, dashes, and markers.
Fine-grained text styling with font, size, weight, colour, fill, and stroke controls — then rasterize or convert to paths when needed.
Align layers or shapes to any edge or centre, distribute equal spacing, tidy a layout, and snap precisely to guides.
Hit a byte budget automatically, limit dimensions, convert to sRGB, and optimise GIF or PNG palettes with dither controls.
Drop images straight into a document as layers. SVG files stay editable vectors, PSD layers arrive grouped, and EXIF orientation is handled automatically.
Live RGB and luminance histograms, HEX/RGB entry, colour-wheel selection, reusable palettes, and document colour swatches.
Generate editable SVG vectors, restore images, upscale in the cloud, remove backgrounds, and turn depth maps into layer masks.
Preview AI-generated PixellectMarkup layouts before applying them, then fill any generated image placeholders directly on the canvas.
Choose your OpenRouter model, stream responses, set a tool-call limit, and let the agent inspect canvas and layer previews as it works.
A command palette, recent-document launcher, configurable transparency checkerboard, pixel grid, and canvas-border controls.
