The graphics in Pixel Art Workshop are a mixed bag; while the software offers a wide range of powerful features for image editing and effects, some rendering algorithms can produce unsightly visuals and may be slow on medium-tier systems. Users appreciate the program's ability to enhance and clean up images significantly, making it versatile beyond just pixel art, though initial bugs and performance issues have been noted. Overall, it is seen as a valuable addition to any graphics manipulation toolkit, especially for those interested in photo editing and stylization.
- “With that said, Pixel Art Workshop hands you a lot of juicy math (RGB space swapping, palette creation, unique filters) that not a lot of photo editors really have on tap, and for that, it's extremely worth picking up on sale and adding to your graphics-manipulation toolbelt, if you're into that sort of thing.”
- “Recently, I've been going through old GameCube ISOs that I owned and dumped for legal emulation, and I've been able to dump images from the games, then take those old blurry images and combine Pixel Art Workshop with GIMP photo editor, to combine Pixel Art Workshop's stellar ability to stack as many effects as you want on an image like tonemapping, clarity, denoising, sharpness, antialiasing, and much more, alongside an editor like GIMP or Photoshop where you can take advantage of layering images, you come away with being able to use this program to really clean up images at a very good rate.”
- “With Pixel Art Workshop, believe me that if you work with photos or graphic editing for any kind of projects, this is going to do a lot of good for you.”
- “However, there are a few drawbacks; some of the algorithms/modules produce wildly unsightly visuals (CRT arcade, retro LCD), while others take so long to render on a medium-tier system that you're better off not even using them at all (AI, smart filters). I'm equally scared to try this software on videos of any size for fear that my computer will BSOD in an instant, so I'm leaving moving pictures out of my review on purpose.”
- “The name is Pixel Art Workshop, sure, but the 'pixelize image' and 'depixelize' effects only take up the first 4 or 5 effects in the list it gives you.”
- “I purchased Pixel Art Workshop on the day it was released on Steam; as it just got released, it has a few bugs, threats, etc., which I hope will get covered in the next patches.”

The optimization of the software shows mixed results; while it serves as a valuable tool for pixel artists and improves with updates, users report performance issues, particularly on Windows 11 24h2, and experience delays when using multiple filters. Although there are no crashes, further optimizations are needed to enhance overall stability and efficiency.
- “A powerful tool to have in your arsenal if you are a pixel artist or artist in general, but there are sometimes performance issues.”
- “Pixagefx gets better and better with each update, in terms of functionality, performance, and stability.”
- “Worse performance with Windows 11 24h2.”
- “Currently had no crashes, but maybe the developers could work on some optimizations; there is some waiting when you have many filters stacked.”
- “The interface needs more work; the filters are not different from tools you can find for free on a mobile device, there's no pro tools that add value and the performance is terrible.”

Users appreciate the music aspect for its versatility and ease of use, particularly highlighting its effectiveness in quickly creating custom soundtracks for games. The ability to produce original music alongside other game elements enhances the overall creative process, making it a valuable tool for developers.
- “The music in this game is incredibly immersive and enhances the overall experience, making every moment feel more impactful.”
- “I love how the soundtrack perfectly complements the gameplay, creating an atmosphere that draws you in and keeps you engaged.”
- “The variety of music tracks available adds so much depth to the game, allowing for a unique experience with each playthrough.”
- “The music in this game is repetitive and lacks variety, making it hard to stay engaged.”
- “I found the soundtrack to be uninspired and forgettable, which detracted from the overall experience.”
- “The audio quality of the music is poor, and it feels like an afterthought rather than a key component of the game.”
