Keep your work
Your Pixl collection
Find saved artwork, understand ownership labels, and choose between editing, hiding, deleting and un-saving.
Saved artwork lives in Media. Choose Pixls to concentrate on individual drawings, or Pictures for joined pictures and other images. Working drafts open from the editor’s dock instead: see Drafts.
Find artwork
Use Search media to narrow the list. The type filters include All, Pixls, Pictures and Palettes, alongside other media types. Some filters are icons; their hover labels name them.
The bottom scope controls are Mine, Saved and On this canvas. They narrow where the entries come from. If something seems missing, clear the search and any scope restriction before trying to load the collection again.
A Pixl row shows a thumbnail, its name or Untitled Pixl, its size and frame count, and artist credit. An animation has a preview control. The artwork open in Pixl Studio is marked in its list.
A Free badge means its artist released it as a reusable free asset. Merely seeing a Pixl on a public canvas does not mean you may save or remix it.
Ownership and licences
Artwork you hold can include drawings you made, artwork bought outright and artwork you licensed. Bought holdings can show Owned or Licensed beneath the size line. Those labels describe how you hold the artwork; the creator’s credit remains separate.
Holding someone else’s artwork does not turn every menu into the artist’s menu. Use the actions the row offers. For example, a released drawing can offer Remix, while editing the original and renaming it are artist actions.
If a held Freemarket item has a newer artist version, its menu can offer an update action. A purchased or licensed holding can therefore stay on its held version until you choose to update it. For buying and selling, continue to the Glob Social wiki.
Row actions
Right-click a row, use its Pixl actions menu where shown, or open the context menu from the keyboard. The available choices depend on the artwork:
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Edit | Opens your artwork in Pixl Studio. |
| Rename | Changes your Pixl’s name; leave it empty to remove the name. |
| View original | Opens someone else’s artwork for viewing. |
| Remix | Opens released artwork as the start of a credited new drawing. |
| Place on canvas | Places your eligible artwork on the current canvas. |
| Share | Attempts to share the artwork. |
| Set as avatar or Set as cursor | Uses eligible artwork for your identity. |
| Release as free asset | Lets others reuse it after a permanent-release confirmation. |
| Un-save | Removes your saved link to someone else’s artwork. |
| Report | Opens reporting for shared artwork you can read. |
Saving another artist’s free Pixl keeps a link to their artwork. It does not make an independent editable original in your name. Use Remix when you want your own changed version.
Drag an eligible Pixl onto a canvas to place it. Dropping it onto a node you may edit can give that node its picture. Dragging canvas artwork into the collection saves eligible released artwork; dragging your own hidden artwork back can make it visible in your list again.
Hiding and deleting
Hide from my list removes an entry from your ordinary artist list without removing its uses. Show hidden brings hidden entries into view; Show in my list restores one.
Delete is offered only when the artwork can be deleted. Artwork that is still placed or worn must be removed from those uses first. Once someone else has saved or used it, a lock can prevent deletion even after that use ends. Hide it from your list when deletion is unavailable.
An editor’s Delete pixl asks for confirmation. Deleting an unsaved drawing removes its draft; deleting saved artwork attempts the saved Pixl’s deletion. These are different from Un-save, which removes only your saved entry for another artist’s artwork.
Joined-picture folders
Tiles belonging to one picture fold into a folder with a stacked thumbnail and Pixl count. Expand it to see its tiles. Its menu offers Open in Pixl Studio, Show its Pixls or Hide its Pixls, and Place picture where possible.
A picture needs all of its tiles available to place as one group. A partial folder can say how many Pixls remain. Delete picture is shown for your own picture when eligible tiles can be deleted; the confirmation names the number being removed. Tiles still protected by a use or lock are not made deletable by deleting the folder.
