# Feature Contributions temporarily freezed!
PixiEditor is undergoing massive changes, master branch is unstable. We will not accept any feature contributions at the moment, until version 2.0 comes out. Feel free to fix bugs though. But before you do, let us know on [Discord](https://discord.gg/qSRMYmq), since we already might've fixed them.
## About PixiEditor
PixiEditor aims to be all-in-one solution for 2D image editing, we aim to achieve this by building a solid foundation with basic functionalities, and exposing complex extension system, that would customize PixiEditor for all your needs.
The project started as a pixel-art editor, but quickly evolved into something much more complex. Version 1.0 was downloaded over 100 000 times on all platforms and received 93% positive rating on Steam.
### Familiar interface
Have you ever used Photoshop or Gimp? Reinventing the wheel is unnecessary, we wanted users to get familiar with the tool quickly and with ease.
### Toolsets for any scenario
PixiEditor 2.0 comes by default with multiple toolsets:
- Pixel art - it contains tool suited for pixel-perfect scenarios
- Painting - Basic painting tools, soft brushes, anti aliased shapes
- Vector - Shapes and paths for creating vectors
All toolsets can be used on one canvas, mix vector with raster. Export to png, jpg, svg, gif, mp4 and more!
### Animations
Version 2.0 comes with Timeline and animation capabilities. You can create frame by frame animations or use nodes to animate your custom shaders.
Key frame animations with vectors are planned.
### Nodes
Node render system is what powers such extensive capabilities. All layers, effects, layer structure are nodes or a result of node connections. PixiEditor exposes node graph for every document, so you are free to customize your image however you want and create procedural art/animations!
Here are some examples of what you can do with custom nodes https://pixieditor.net/blog/2024/08/16/devlog7#madeinpixieditor20
