What’s new in 0.2.0
2026-10-22
Pixtorium is now in open beta.
- Frames are drawn, not tiled: new wood frames (Oak, Walnut, Cherry, Maple, Mahogany, Ebony, Driftwood), and the stone, paper and nature frames keep their colors in patterns that never repeat.
- Effects › Stylize › Triangulate, and File › Export as SVG.
- Effects › Distort › Rain, and Pond ripples.
- Effects › Artistic › Watercolor; the running-paint effects are one submenu.
- Black hole and Splash remade; Deformations is now Reflections.
- Enhance › Red eye removal.
- Help › Release notes.
- About says where Pixtorium comes from, and that you can paint with just about any effect.
- Previews that change the picture's shape no longer show dark stripes beside them; a command that runs at once, such as Equalization, no longer brings back the preview of an operation left open in the panel.
Opening it the first time
These builds are not yet signed, so your system asks before the first start.
- Windows: if SmartScreen says “Windows protected your PC”, choose More info, then Run anyway. The installer needs no administrator.
- macOS: open the disk image and drag Pixtorium to Applications. The first time you open it, macOS refuses; open System Settings › Privacy & Security, choose Open Anyway next to Pixtorium, and confirm.
- Linux: install with your package manager, for example
sudo apt install ./pixtorium_0.2.0_amd64.deborsudo dnf install ./pixtorium-0.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm.
The on-device AI downloads its model the first time you use it. On Linux, the built-in assistant model needs Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, Fedora 37 or later; on older systems, connect the assistant to Ollama or your own key.
