Below is a clear, organized breakdown of Pixso’s core value and the game-changing features of its 2.0 version released in 2025.
1. Pixso: Core Identity
Pixso is an all-in-one collaborative UI/UX design platform that combines UI/UX design, whiteboarding, prototyping, code generation, and developer handoff. It’s built for global teams—from small groups to enterprises—with a focus on being professional, efficient, and easy to use. It’s part of BOYUN (a tech company with roots in graphics rendering, spun off from Wondershare in 2021), so it’s backed by years of expertise in rendering tech.
2. Pixso 2.0: Breakthrough Updates (Sept 2025 Launch)
The 2.0 version is a major upgrade—rebuilt in key areas to fix pain points (like slow performance) and add AI-powered tools that speed up workflows. Here’s what matters most:
A. Performance: Fully Rebuilt for Speed & Efficiency
Pixso 2.0’s underlying architecture was completely redone—no more lag, even with big files. The numbers speak for themselves:
File opening time: 50% faster than 1.0
Memory usage: 40% lower (critical for large design files)
Smoother day-to-day actions: Zooming, panning, rotating layers, and switching pages are all faster—even for memory-heavy docs.
Faster component libraries: Publishing big libraries (a must for design systems) is way quicker now, thanks to a rewritten rendering engine.
Why this matters: No more waiting for files to load or dealing with lag when editing—teams can move faster without tech delays.
B. Pixso AI: Generate Designs (and Code) from Text
The biggest new feature? AI-powered design generation. Just type a simple prompt (e.g., “create a fintech dashboard”) and Pixso 2.0 spits out:
A complete, editable high-fidelity mockup (in seconds, not hours)
Developer-ready front-end code (so you skip the “start from scratch” phase entirely).
This cuts down the initial design process drastically—perfect for teams that need to iterate fast.
C. Seamless Design-to-Code Handoff
Designers and devs no longer have to “translate” designs manually. Pixso 2.0 offers:
One-click code generation for frameworks like ArkUI, HTML, and Flutter.
A “Dev View” where devs can click “D2C” to get a production-ready code package. The code keeps layout relationships and styling intact—so devs skip manual work and launch faster.
D. Design Tokens: Keep Consistency Easy
For teams that need uniform branding/designs across projects:
Define centralized variables for colors, text styles, numbers, and Boolean values (called “design tokens”).
Update all instances globally with one click (no more editing 100 files to change a brand color).
Aligns design and engineering—since everyone uses the same standardized properties, there’s less back-and-forth.
E. Sketch Compatibility: Easy Migration
If your team is switching from Sketch? No rework needed. Pixso 2.0 handles:
Accurate rendering of blend modes, Boolean operations, background blur, and bidirectional text.
Zero loss of fidelity—you can import Sketch files and start editing right away.
F. Better Text & Typography Tools
Great for global teams or projects with complex text needs:
Supports variable fonts, path-based text (text along shapes), and bidirectional text (for Arabic, Hebrew, etc.).
Covers more languages: Japanese, Korean, Urdu, Thai, Tibetan—so no more workarounds for non-English designs.
G. Clearer Feedback: Visual Comments
No more confusing text-only feedback. Now you can:
Drag, paste, or upload screenshots/graphics directly into comments (works in Edit and Presentation modes).
Feedback is contextual—teammates see exactly what you’re referring to, no guesswork.
H. Immersive Prototypes: Video & GIF Support
Designers can now add embedded videos and GIFs to prototypes. This makes:
Presentations more engaging (e.g., show a demo of how a feature works).
User testing more accurate (teammates experience the design like real users would).
I. Upgraded Team Asset Library
Managing design components is faster:
Faster publishing of libraries, better search, and seamless sync across teams.
Ensures everyone uses the latest, on-brand components—no more outdated assets.
J. Custom Color Palettes
Maintaining brand consistency is easier:
Create, save, and share custom color palettes (with variable support).
Rebranding? Update the palette once, and it applies to all projects—no manual edits.
K. Accessible Pricing Plans
Pixso works for teams of all sizes:
Free plan: Unlimited personal files, 3 team project pages, 30 days of version history.
Pro plan: Unlocks advanced collaboration and more storage.
New subscribers get AI credits to try the AI design tool for free.
3. Why This Matters vs. Alternatives (e.g., Figma)
Pixso 2.0 doesn’t just add features—it fixes common pain points:
Faster performance: No more lag with big files (unlike Figma’s occasional slowdowns).
AI built-in: Generates designs + code from prompts (Figma’s AI tools are often more limited or require plugins).
Easier migration: Sketch compatibility means no rework (Figma’s Sketch import can miss details).
*Cheaper + enterprise-ready: * More affordable plans, plus strong security (matches Figma’s enterprise security but at a better price).
As Pixso’s CEO Ethan said: “With localized UI and a smooth migration path from Figma or Sketch, we’re empowering global teams to do their best work without barriers.”
