What is Pixelator?
Pixelator transforms your images into beautifully styled pixel art with a single click. Just upload an image, hit Generate, and receive randomized pixel art variants, each with its own creative flair. Powered by our custom AI model, Pixilea.
Vixel-Based Generation
Each generation costs vixels, adding value to every result. Use your vixels wisely to explore different pixel art styles.
Recommended Canvas Size
You can choose any canvas size, but for clear and high-quality results, we recommend using at least 128×128 pixels or higher.
Settings
Neural Noise
Neural Noise should only be used when heavy artifacting is present, as enabling it increases the vixel cost per generation. You can safely adjust Neural Noise settings without altering the pixel-art style by enabling Style Preservation.
When using the image as a noise, there may be hidden artifacts that are not visible to the human eye. During AI processing, these artifacts can be amplified and reproduced because they already exist in the original image. This behavior occurs only when using certain Noise Control methods.
Using NADPTCM reduces these artifacts, but it introduces blurry pixels in the output. If the goal is to have sharpness, other Noise Control methods must be selected. While this removes blurriness, it can result in a significant increase in visible artifacts.
This is where Neural Noise processing becomes necessary. Neural Noise methods make Pixilea to reconstruct the image based on its internal visual interpretation while attempting to preserve the original structure as closely as possible. Neural Noise can significantly reduce or nearly eliminate artifacts without compromising the pixel-art style.
Neural Noise Strength
This option is only enabled when the Neural Noise methods is used. Selecting Image Noise will automatically disable this option.
The Neutral Noise Strength controls how the image is reconstructed during processing.
Noise Control
This parameter governs how the generated noise is reconstructed during processing. Different noise control methods can significantly affect the structure, distribution, and characteristics of the noise itself, altering how it behaves in subsequent processing or in combination with other operations. Selecting the appropriate method allows precise control over the noise’s pattern, texture, and overall behavior.
Noise Control Strength
This setting determines how strongly the selected Noise Control Method influences the generated noise during processing.
Guidance
The Guidance settings lets you control how closely the pixel art matches the original image
Sampling
The Sampling setting determines how broad the pool of styles is when generating an image into pixel art.
Sensitivity
The Sensitivity setting controls how much fine detail from your original image influences the pixel art conversion
M. Decoder (Memory Decoder)
Users must regularly clean and manage stored memories, as excessive accumulation can consume limited storage, slow down generation speed, and eventually prevent the creation of new outputs.
The M. Decoder setting controls how memory data is decoded and managed during the pixel art generation process. This directly affects how outputs are stored and retrieved, balancing generation speed with flexibility for future use.
Overview
The Store is the dedicated section within the application where users can acquire resources that enhance their overall experience. It is designed to provide a seamless purchasing process, giving users the flexibility to choose how they wish to unlock additional features or extend the capabilities of the application according to their needs.

How to get early access?
Early access users are selected exclusively by our team. Applications are not accepted, as early access builds may contain security vulnerabilities. Access is strictly limited to a controlled group of users.
When LPS Editor will be released?
LPS Editor will be released once it is fully ready for consumers. We are actively finalizing development and aim to launch it within this year, provided everything goes smoothly.
Why I am having different result or even worst result when using Pixelator?
Poor results generated by Pixelator can be caused by multiple factors:
- Lower-tier accounts have limitations that directly affect generation quality. Higher tiers provide access to improved performance and better output consistency.
- Some models are not designed to handle highly complex images. Using a higher or alternative model is recommended. Based on internal testing, extremely complex images may fail in PX models but may perform better when processed with compressed models such as non-PX models, even though non-PX models are smaller in size compared to PX models. This can go vice-versa.
- Low-resolution input images can significantly reduce output quality. Higher-resolution images generally produce more accurate and detailed results.
- Optimal results require manual adjustment of settings. Users are encouraged to experiment with different configurations. This design choice is intentional, as it allows each user to develop a unique visual style when using Pixelator.
- Blurry or unfocused images reduce the model’s ability to accurately interpret details, leading to poorer results. To mitigate this issue, export the image using LPS Zoom and use the resulting image as the layer for generation, as this improves clarity and preserves important visual details.
There are additional factors that may influence output quality that are not listed here. However, the points above represent the most common and impactful causes.
Can I get ban?
When I open image why its so pixelated?
Your account tier directly affects how images are processed LPS Editor. To avoid confusion, the tiers are summarized below:
Apprentice Tier: This tier is designed to provide free access to LPS Editor. Users are limited to creating pixel art only, with no support for heavy artistic workflows or access to Xelab AI features.
Adept Tier: This tier provides access to LPS Editor through a one-time payment. Users gain limited access to basic Xelab AI features, including the ability to use Pixelator and LPS Zoom with selected models. Output quality typically ranges from low to mid quality, with occasional high-quality results depending on usage and settings. Pixel art creation is supported at low to mid complexity, while complex artwork remains constrained due to tier limitations.
Master Tier: This tier grants access to advanced Xelab AI features within LPS Editor for a limited duration. Usage time depends on the number of Master Tickets available. Users can generate and export high-quality, print-ready images. While pixel art remains the primary focus, this tier also allows a higher likelihood of producing complex artwork compared to lower tiers.
Can I sell or use the images I created in LPS Editor in Commercial purposes?
Check Term and Conditions: Click here
What if my generation failed?
Your Vixels will be refunded if the system successfully detects the issue. If the system fails to detect it, a refund cannot be guaranteed. To reduce the risk of non-refundable cases, please report the issue as early as possible. Early reports help us improve detection, and in future occurrences, this increases the likelihood that affected Vixels will be refunded.
How to create an account?
You can create an account using the Xenoame Launcher when LPS Editor is launched, specifically for early access users. An account will be provided, but it will be disabled once LPS Editor is officially released. Please avoid overspending with your early access account, as any currencies earned are non-transferable.
Why I can't save my settings?
If you are in Session Mode, which is the default startup for the Apprentice tier, you cannot save your settings directly. To preserve your settings, you must create a document instead.
Why my generated images not save directly to my drive instead of Virtual storage?
All creations in LPS Editor are saved to Virtual Storage rather than directly to your drive. This approach helps keep your files organized and prevents them from being scattered across your system.
Why we need virtual storage? Can I use my drive instead?
Virtual Storage is designed to organize all images, projects, data files, and other assets within LPS Editor itself, providing a centralized and manageable workspace.
What is different between Rental items and items I owned?
Rental items are temporary assets provided when you purchase a qualifying special item. They are not permanent and may be modified or removed during updates. If the associated special item is removed, the rental item may also disappear. Rental items may not appear in your inventory immediately, as the system requires verification of your special item. Using rental items may consume credits, and commercial use is subject to both the editor license and the terms of the special item that grants access.
Original items are assets you fully own. They do not incur usage charges, although some editors may implement separate credit systems for certain content even if your item is free. Original items always appear in your inventory and may be used commercially subject only to the editor’s license.
What is EGU?
EGU (Enhanced Graphical Upscaler) is a system designed to upscale images while maintaining controlled and predictable resolution output. Unlike a standard upscaler, EGU is a proprietary system that contains AI Models, Parameters and Advanced Systems. more…
Vixel-Based Generation
Warning
Images exported with this model are not saved in the editor’s memory. Ensure you keep proper backups, as once exported, these files exist only on your virtual pc workspace.
Each generation costs vixels, adding value to every result. Use your vixels wisely to explore different EGUs and achieve the best possible image quality.

What is Chromatic Layering?
Chromatic Layering is a dedicated feature within LPS Editor that enables advanced, smart blending between layers. Allowing color interaction, depth influence, and compositional adjustments without destructively modifying the artwork. Integrated deeply into the editor’s workflow, it offers an intuitive and flexible way to apply dynamic blend modes that respond intelligently to the layer context.
Whether enhancing lighting, shifting tones, or building depth, Chromatic Layering empowers artists with a non-linear, artist-driven method of visual refinement.
Vixel-Based Generation
Each generation costs vixels, adding value to every result. Use your vixels wisely to explore different artistic styles and effects.
Settings
Name
Defines the identifier of the chromatic layer. This helps organize and distinguish layers, especially when working with multiple overlays or complex compositions.
Blend
Specifies the blend mode applied to the layer. Determines how this layer visually interacts with the target layer beneath it.
Strength
Controls the degree of influence the chromatic layer has on the target layer. Higher values result in a more dominant effect, while lower values allow the base layer to remain more visible.
Opacity
Adjusts the transparency level of the chromatic layer. This directly affects how visible or subtle the layer appears within the final composition.
Control Types
Control Types define how a chromatic layer’s influence is distributed or modulated across the target layer. Each type provides a unique mechanism for determining where and how the effect is applied, offering a wide range of artistic control.
Chromatic Type
Specifies how a chromatic layer behaves in terms of its scope and influence within the LPS Editor.
Blends
Addition
This mode increases the visual intensity by adding the color values of one layer onto another. It creates a luminous effect, enhancing brightness in overlapping areas and making strong highlights more pronounced.
Burn
Burn deepens tones by pushing color intensity into darker ranges. This produces a more dramatic and moody visual appearance by reducing brightness and emphasizing contrast in overlapping areas.
Color
Color mode modifies the hue and saturation of the underlying layer based on the active layer while keeping its original lightness. It allows for dynamic recoloring without disrupting the structure or luminance of the image.
Color Dodge
Color Dodge brightens areas of the base layer based on the brightness of the layer above it. The result is a glowing, amplified effect that intensifies lighter regions while maintaining contrast and clarity.
Darken
Darken compares both layers pixel by pixel and retains only the darker value. It is useful for building shadows, merging dark elements, or maintaining visual hierarchy through tone reduction.
Divide
Divide creates an abstract and high-contrast result by reducing the base layer’s intensity proportionally to the blend layer. It can introduce stylized or inverted effects and is best used for experimentation or creative distortions.
Erase
This mode removes or suppresses parts of the base layer using the active layer’s content. It serves as a visual masking tool, allowing selective removal of visual elements based on shape, alpha, or color.
Lighten
Lighten evaluates both layers and retains the lighter pixel at each position. This helps to softly expose light features and makes bright accents stand out without overpowering the entire composition.
Luminosity
Luminosity replaces the brightness values of the base layer with those from the active layer while keeping the base layer’s hue and saturation intact. It is useful for introducing light structure or tone shifts without altering color identity.
Multiply
Multiply darkens the image by combining both layers in a way that reduces light and enhances depth. It’s commonly used to apply shading, texture, or low-light adjustments while maintaining color integrity.
Normal
Normal is the default mode where the active layer is simply placed over the base layer according to its opacity. There is no interaction beyond standard transparency blending, making it the most neutral option for stacking.
Overlay
Overlay dynamically adjusts the final output by both darkening and lightening the image based on the brightness of the base. It enhances midtones, sharpens contrast, and results in a rich, high-impact visual finish.
Saturation
Saturation modifies only the vividness of the underlying layer using the saturation level of the active layer. Hue and brightness remain unchanged, allowing users to boost or reduce intensity without affecting form or tone.
Screen
Screen mode lightens the image by combining both layers in a way that reduces dark tones and increases brightness. It’s ideal for soft glows, ambient lighting, or bright overlays without harsh blending edges.
Soft Light
Soft Light introduces gentle lighting variations, subtly adjusting brightness and contrast based on the upper layer. The result mimics a natural diffusion of light, providing polished and atmospheric transitions between tones.
Control Types
Auto
Automatically applies the chromatic effect uniformly across the entire layer. No additional input or condition is required. This is the default behavior for quick application without customization.
Color
Modulates the effect based on color values in the target or reference layer. Regions with matching or similar color profiles will receive stronger influence, allowing for targeted color-based adjustments or enhancements.
Noise
Uses procedural noise patterns to introduce randomized variation across the layer. This results in organic, scattered, or textured blending that feels natural and unpredictable—ideal for grunge, terrain, or atmospheric effects.
Area
Restricts the chromatic influence to a specific region, shape, or user-defined mask. This allows for localized control, making it suitable for highlighting, selective blending, or precision corrections.
Texture
Applies the chromatic effect using a designated texture map as a control source. The brightness or alpha values of the texture define where and how strongly the layer influences the target, allowing for advanced masking, stamping, or pattern-driven blending.
Chromatic Types
Global
Applies chromatic effects to the preview window, which directly influences the final output. However, it does not affect the canvas or modify any underlying layers. This is suitable for global post-processing effects that shape the final look without altering layer data.
Selected
Applies chromatic effects directly to the canvas, targeting specific visual elements. This mode affects only the selected layers, without impacting the preview window or influencing unrelated layers.
What is LSG?
LSG stands for Light Shadow Generator.
It is a software module that automatically produces shadows and lights through color analysis. Users mark or paint the areas intended for shading or lighting, and the tool determines the appropriate color for each marked region. The generation process can be adjusted through Index and Intensity controls, allowing precise refinement of the final result.
Vixel-Based Resample
Each resample costs vixels, so use them strategically during the final stage of your project to avoid overspending and ensure the best possible shading and lighting results.
History
LSG was created by Xeno CX in November 2023 as a private, proprietary tool. In 2025, it was implemented into Oblinesis Engine: Spike Weed, which was later used in LPS Editor to provide a seamless, integrated shading and lighting solution within the editor.
Automation
Resample
Operations
Bake
Baking is the process of permanently applying LSG-generated shadows and lights to your artwork. Once baked, these effects become part of the image and no longer rely on resampling data.
Stop Resample
The Stop function immediately halts the current LSG operation. This is especially useful when handling a large number of queued tasks, as it allows you to cancel the process without applying unnecessary or excessive changes.
Clear All
The Clear All function removes all shadows and lights from the entire artwork or all layers. This is useful when you want to completely reset your project’s effects.
Clear
The Clear feature removes all shadows and lights from the currently selected layer. This allows you to reset effects on a specific layer without affecting other layers.
Settings
Index
Amplifies the effect of the shadow or light color while maintaining its original intensity.
Intensity
Controls how strong or impactful the shadow or light effect appears. Higher intensity results in deeper shadows or brighter highlights.
Tools
Pencil Shader

Warning
Virtual Storage is an experimental feature; files may break or reset during updates.
What Is Virtual Storage?
Virtual Storage is an internal file management system used by the LPS Editor to organize and store both user-created files, generated Pixilea images, editor files or any files that is part of the editor. It is divided into two main storage types: Editor Storage and Memory Storage.
The primary purpose of Virtual Storage is to organize editor related files in a structured and consistent way. This includes managing internal data, user preferences, and user created content that the editor depends on to function correctly.
By centralizing these files, the editor can locate, load, and update data quickly, ensuring smooth operation and predictable behavior.
Performance and Access
Virtual Storage is optimized for fast access within the editor. Files are indexed and managed internally to reduce load times and avoid manual file handling by the user.
All interaction with Virtual Storage happens through the LPS Editor interface, ensuring data integrity and preventing accidental modification or corruption.
Storage Location
Virtual Storage files are stored locally on the user’s device and are managed exclusively by the LPS Editor. These files are not exposed as standard user documents and are accessed only through the editor.
When the LPS Editor is uninstalled or installed on a new computer, Virtual Storage is reset and starts fresh.
Storages
Editor Storages
Editor Storage is used to store files necessary for the editor’s functionality, including custom user saves.
Memory Storage
Memory storage is used to store generated images.
