Ready to get started?

The new Wixel

The new Wixel is a fully AI-powered design platform with more robust, flexible tools for building a much wider range of assets. You can build complete projects that include logos, videos, forms, RSVP pages, and online documents, all aligned with the same visual style and messaging. It also includes all of the previous Wixel's image creation and editing tools in a new and improved format.
To generate any design, simply describe what you want to accomplish to Aria, your AI design agent. Aria, and other tools like AI suggestions and AI breakdown, support you along your creative journey with design ideas, tips, and inspiration tailored to your project.

The old Wixel

The previous version of Wixel focuses on creating and editing images, to make social media posts, invitations, banners, and more. Alongside templates and basic design features, the old Wixel offers AI features such generating images, avatars, and professional portraits and editing capabilities to remove backgrounds, extend images, and remove and replace objects in images.

What if I already have a Wixel account?

If you already have a Wixel account from the previous platform, you can access both the old and new Wixel whenever you like. Your projects are safely stored on the platform where they were created.
Premium subscriptions are managed separately for each version and cannot be transferred. You can keep your plan for the old Wixel, or choose to cancel the automatic renewal. If you want to unlock premium features in the new Wixel, you'll need to upgrade your account.

To switch between platforms:

  1. Go to Wixel.
  2. Click your profile picture at the top right.
  3. Select Switch to New Wixel / Switch to Old Wixel.
