Build incredible prototypes with Studio

Create prototypes that feel completely real, right from your desktop. Connect your iOS and Android device to preview your prototypes in full native fidelity. And the best part: Studio is completely free.

No trial, no subscription.

 

What is it?

Pixate is a next-generation mobile interaction design service aimed at helping designers create complex animations and interactions without writing code. The platform generates 100% native mobile prototypes as they’re being designed, enabling you to refine unique experiences and communicate interactive ideas to stakeholders and team members.

 

Why should I use it?

You want to create mobile prototypes that let you express your ideas with interactions and animations that exactly match a real app. Pixate lets you quickly express the ideas in your head, play with them on your mobile device, and iterate quickly, all without writing any code. When you can experience your ideas exactly as they'll work in the real world, you can have more impact as a designer, reduce churn, and more effectively communicate with your team.

 

What do I need?

Your wits, a modern computer, Pixate Studio, web browser and cloud account(for sharing and cloud storage), an Android or iOS mobile device, and a plan to make a game-changing app.

 

Pixate is Free for Classrooms & Teachers

We know the cost of tools can be prohibitive for schools, and while Pixate Studio is free for anyone to use, we are happy to offer our cloud plan to qualifying teachers free of charge for 12 months—no strings attached. You can re-apply each year as long as you're eligible. Have fun!
