how to get & use the pixels

▸ quick start

  1. Open the site at cutepixells.netlify.app.
  2. Pick a category, or use the search box.
  3. Tap a pixel — it downloads to your device. Your first one is free; after that a little card appears — tap its button to download (a sponsor tab opens alongside; that's what keeps the site free ♥).
  4. On iPhone / iPad, or inside apps (Pinterest, Instagram…): tapping opens a save panel — press & hold the big pixel → “Save to Photos / Save image”, or tap 💾 save.
  5. Use it anywhere that accepts a picture (see below).

✦ where to use them

  • Discord / WhatsApp / Telegram — attach the pixel (stays animated).
  • Word / PowerPoint / Google Docs — Insert → Picture → choose the file.
  • Instagram / TikTok / CapCut — import it like a sticker or clip.
  • Your own website (Neocities, Carrd, Wix…) — upload it there.
  • Any profile or bio that accepts a picture — upload it where it asks.
Won't work in plain-text-only boxes — you need a place that lets you upload or attach a picture.

— how to use a pixel

  1. Tap a pixel to save it to your device (on iPhone / iPad, press & hold the big pixel in the panel that opens).
  2. In your app, choose upload / insert / attach picture.
  3. Pick the saved pixel — done! ♥
Sharing in chats? Send it as a GIF / file / document (not as a “photo”) so it stays animated — most apps freeze GIFs sent as photos.

! troubleshooting

  • Nothing happens when I tap? — refresh the page and try again.
  • A new tab opened? — that's the sponsor ad; just close it. Your pixel downloads separately (check your Downloads / notification bar).
  • Inside Pinterest / Instagram and can't save? — open the site in your real browser: tap ••• / share → Open in Browser, then try again.
  • It turned into a JPG (or stopped animating) after uploading? — the app converted it, not the download. Upload the pixel as a file / GIF / document, never as a “photo”. On iPhone, tap 💾 save so the GIF goes to Files and upload from there — picking from Photos often sends a JPG. (Instagram posts always convert to JPG — that's Instagram, no way around it.)
  • No animation? — your device has “reduce motion” turned on (the site honors it).
  • The picture won't paste somewhere? — that spot is text-only; use a place that accepts an uploaded picture.
