Copy and paste

Pixly has its own clipboard system for copy and paste (independent from the Android clipboard).

This means that you can copy and paste areas of images inside Pixly, even though (currently) Android doesn't allow you to. Here's how it goes:

  • Select something;
  • On the Edit menu, tap Copy Selected;
  • Choose a frame and layer you want to paste to;
  • On the Edit menu, tap Paste Selected;
  • Move, scale and rotate as desired;
  • Enjoy
info

All pixels that are the same color as the secondary color will be interpreted as background, and won't be copied. If you have problems making copy-paste work, try resetting your secondary color before copying something.
