What is a Pixactivity file?
It is a small .json file. It holds the finished model, the list of parts with their number, and the guide that builds it layer by layer. Open it in the workshop and the model appears, then follow the guide step by step, exactly like a paper booklet.
How to use your file
2. Drop it on Pixactivity
Drop the file in the box above, or straight onto a workshop page. The finished model appears at once, with no account and nothing to install.
3. Follow the guide
Press Follow the building guide: the model empties out and rebuilds step by step, with the part numbers to place. The printer button saves the whole guide as a page you can print.
Free models
Open these free models directly in the workshop. Each 3D file includes the finished build, its parts list and a step-by-step guide.

Free pixel models
Every grid from the workbook, plus five monuments in 128x128 - the Eiffel Tower, the Atomium, the Colosseum, the Taj Mahal and the Great Pyramid. Click one and the pixel workshop opens it: each empty square shows the number of its colour, the colour key sits above the palette, and the wheel zooms in when the squares get small.
Parents: get new free projects
One email a month at most: a new model to build, and what is new in the workshops. Written for the grown-ups, not for the children.
Model packs
Bigger models, with their guide and their numbered parts list. Every model comes in two versions: the file you open on the site, and the PDF you print - the grid to colour in with its colour key, the finished picture in colour, the building guide. Sold on Etsy as a digital download: the files arrive right after buying and stay yours.
Brick pack
Twenty-one big scenes, 100 to 640 pieces each: village, Grand Prix, building site, harbour, station, dinosaur park, farm, airport, fire station, space base, great castle, stadium, luxury sports car - and eight monuments: the Eiffel Tower, the Colosseum, the Taj Mahal, the Great Pyramid, the Atomium, the clock tower, the Arc de Triomphe and the Statue of Liberty. Each one with its step-by-step guide, ready to print.
