I don’t know about you but when I wake up I have an inbox that is happily overflowing with daily comics from around the globe. And if you’re just as crazy about comics as I am, you’ll even get 3 panel visions when you’re high on coffee about the funny things around you. But none of those ideas see the light of the day as a comic and end up being a joke that elicits but a few chuckles.
Not anymore! Pixton is a website which lets you create your own comic strips and take your idea to the world. The website presents you with a multitude of ways to express coupled with an ever-expanding library of props and characters.
Pixton lets you create and remix comics with a simple click and drag interface. It allows you to choose from various characters and backdrops that fit most common situations. The characters themselves are quite funny and you can toy with their expressions to make it look even more so. Pixton goes beyond the regular single row comic and brings to formats in which your idea is sure to fit in. Also, by using your credits you can download your comics in hi-res JPG,PNG or PDF format.
Another feature worthy of note is the “Quickie” comic. All you have to do is pick the characters, select the scene add some text and poof! Your comic is ready. Other than that Pixton lets you rate and comment on comics, create your own profile and share it on social networks.
Some of the advanced features like thought bubbles, adding your own photos and some really advanced facial expressions are only available to Pixton+ members. But even the free Pixton user need not worry. You can collect credits and do pretty much everything a Pixton+ member does. The best way to get more credits is to share the link of your comic on Facebook. And if you’re good enough, the credits will keep flowing. On Pixton or in the real world.
