Pixton

Library Card Required

Pixton is a digital comic creation website for kids and teens. No drawing skills are required—just select from preset characters and backgrounds from a variety of pop culture, literary, scientific, and historical themes. Personalize the character appearances and costumes, choose poses and facial expressions, and write dialogue to tell a story. Comics are saved automatically to a user’s account and can be easily shared or printed from the Pixton site.

Patrons will need a library card to sign in through the NYPL website and access their NYPL Pixton account.
