Hey Sumo-lings!

It’s been a long year, and we’re finally back! Today, we are thrilled to announce the launch of Pixso 2.0, and we’ve partnered once again with AppSumo to bring you our best offers. Whether you’re an old friend or a new user, this is a huge moment for us—and for you.

Why Now? Why Pixso 2.0?

Let me start with a quick story: when we first launched Pixso, we set out to create an all-in-one design tool that would empower teams to collaborate, design, prototype, and deliver seamlessly. 

Over the past two years, we’ve been laser-focused on this. We’ve listened to the voices of many users, like you, and have been working to improve Pixso’s performance and add more features. And now, we’re ready to share it all with you!

Pixso 2.0 isn’t just an update—it’s a whole new experience and feel. Every little change we’ve made is all about making things better for you. These are some highlights of what’s new in 2.0. You’ve gotta try it out for yourself!

✨Blazing Fast Performance: We’ve optimized speed across the board. Large files now open 50% faster compared to 1.0 on average. We’ve also revamped our rendering engine, improving memory and performance. Expect smoother, faster, and more responsive design workflows.

✨Resource Library Overhaul: The new left-hand panel now categorizes resources like styles, components, and more. It’s easier than ever to focus on specific assets, preview, and search.

✨Full Variable Support: Colors, text, numbers, booleans—all can now be managed at a team level for better consistency across your designs.

✨Seamless Text Compatibility: We’ve introduced bi-directional text support, making language transitions smoother for global teams.

✨Commenting Just Got Better: You can now upload images in comments. Collaboration has never been so visual, so intuitive.

✨Prototyping Gets Real: With the ability to play videos and GIFs in prototypes, your designs can be showcased with a whole new level of interaction.

✨Sketch Compatibility 100% Restored: Deep support for all 17 Sketch blend modes. Your visuals will be pixel-perfect.

✨D2C Code Export: Need to convert designs to code? We’ve got you covered. Generate high-quality, precise code that developers will love.

✨Variable Fonts & Path Text: These features offer endless possibilities for typography and layout design.

And there's more features waiting for you to explore!

💌For Existing Lifetime Plan Users

If you’ve already invested in Pixso’s Lifetime Plan, you’re in for a treat. You’ll automatically get access to Pixso 2.0 without any additional cost and no extra setup needed.

Most updates will be available right away. When you first open the updated Pixso, it might take a few minutes to load—thanks for hanging tight. 

There’s a Pixso 2.0 Upgrade Guide with all the update details in the workspace to guide you through all of the updates. The only exception is that some AI-powered features require AI credits as before.

I know change can sometimes feel daunting, but trust me—it’s going to be easy to pick up. Most of the features are designed to be intuitive, and we’re here to help along the way.

📑What’s Coming Next?

We’re not stopping here. We’re committed to continuous improvement, and users can expect regular updates with performance optimizations, bug fixes, and new features bi-weekly, even weekly.

The next big thing is the Pixso AI. Imagine AI-generating a full design from a simple text description, having AI-generated beautiful images based on your ideas, or searching faster and smarter with the help of AI? That’s what Pixso AI is developing now. We believe the future of design is about AI, and we’re taking on the role.

Hey, Sumo-lings! 👋

I'm thrilled to introduce our latest innovation to all of you and be a part of the AppSumo community!

Before we dive into the details, let me tell you a bit about myself. I'm a tech enthusiast and serial entrepreneur with a passion for charts, mind maps, data visualization, and design. Over the past decade, I've dedicated myself to refining these areas and honing my expertise.

A decade ago, I brought Edraw to life and launched EdrawMax and EdrawMind, two powerful graphic efficiency software tools (charts and mind maps). These platforms have amassed millions of users. During this time, I also recognized the tremendous potential of online collaboration.

Driven by my desire to push boundaries and create innovative things, two years ago, I embarked on a new venture: Pixso.

What is Pixso, and what sets it apart?

Pixso is an all-in-one online UI design collaboration platform that covers the workflow from conception to design delivery. Unlike conventional design software, Pixso integrates real-time collaboration features for UI/UX design, prototype files, developer modes, and online whiteboards. From inspiration to product delivery, design has never been this easy!

Pixso brings together designers, product managers, and developers into one collaborative workspace. Here, all work is shared in real time, with no barriers! Designers create design drafts, build component libraries, product managers gather ideas and write documents on the whiteboard, and developers deliver frontend code using annotation panels or developer modes. All members can record every meeting and access shared materials on the whiteboard. Team members work simultaneously with synchronized information!

With Pixso, designing becomes effortless. Sharing and interacting with your team is as simple as clicking a button. Forget about time and location constraints, gather on the virtual Pixso design platform, and design and communicate f,reely. Our online design collaboration capabilities surpass those of competitors.

Use Cases and Features:

- Real-time UI/UX design online
