Our Pixel Art Maker is an online drawing tool designed for fast creation of 8-bit or retro-style artwork. It works directly in your browser with no installation needed.

You can draw pixel by pixel, use layers, apply effects, export your artwork as PNG or GIF, save your project as a .dino file, and publish your creations directly on DinoPixel to share them with the community.

The tool is optimized for speed, supports keyboard shortcuts, grid tools, color history, and advanced editing features such as mirror mode, fill bucket, shading, and more.

New artists can start immediately, while advanced users benefit from higher precision and workflow enhancements. Everything is built to make pixel art creation as simple and fun as possible.

Windows 7, 8, 10, or 11 running strictly on a 64-bit (x64) processor.

If the installation succeeded, the classic Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications development window will open over your drawing canvas.

If you are running newer versions of Windows (like 10 or 11), you may need to run the installer in Compatibility Mode to ensure the 64-bit components register correctly. Why 64-Bit Matters

Introduction AutoCAD 2013 remains a workhorse for many legacy engineering and design workflows. However, migrating to a 64-bit operating system often breaks traditional Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macros. Out of the box, 64-bit installations of AutoCAD 2013 do not include the VBA runtime environment.

Despite this shift, a massive ecosystem of legacy VBA code (.dvb files) remained vital to engineering and architectural firms worldwide. Recognizing the need for backward compatibility, Autodesk created standalone VBA Enabler modules.

Launch AutoCAD 2013. Type VBAMAN at the command line. If the VBA Manager dialog opens successfully, the installation is complete. If you receive an error, reboot your system and try again.

With AutoCAD 2013 64-bit, the software utilizes 8-byte (64-bit) pointers, allowing access to terabytes of system memory. However, the Microsoft VBA engine natively embedded in older software versions was inherently 32-bit. To reconcile this, Autodesk implemented the VBA module as an "Out-of-Process" (exe) server rather than an "In-Process" (dll) server. In-Process vs. Out-of-Process Execution

Re-run the installer as an administrator. Alternatively, ensure that the demand-load settings in the Windows Registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R19.0\ACAD-B001:409\Applications\VBA (the exact path varies by localized product ID) have the LoadCtrls value set to 2 or 12 . Review and accept the license agreement, then click Next

Simply installing the 64-bit VBA module does not guarantee that legacy macros written in older versions of AutoCAD will execute flawlessly. Sixty-four-bit operating systems handle memory allocation differently than 32-bit systems, utilizing 8-byte memory addresses rather than 4-byte addresses.

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) remains a popular programming environment used to automate repetitive drafting and design workflows. Beginning with AutoCAD 2010, Autodesk excluded the Microsoft VBA engine from the standard installer to reduce the application footprint and push developers toward modern APIs like VB.NET or C#.

Common Controls (like ListView , TreeView , or specialized DatePickers) were compiled as 32-bit components ( mscomctl.ocx ). These controls will not load or render inside a 64-bit UserForm. You must replace these controls with standard 64-bit compatible forms elements or migrate the user interface logic over to a modern .NET environment. Future-Proofing: Moving Beyond VBA

If you attempt to run a VBA command like VBAIDE or VBARUN in a fresh installation of 64-bit AutoCAD 2013, the command line will display an error stating that VBA is no longer installed. Follow these steps to deploy the official module: 1. Download the Installer

However, the module was clearly labeled as an "unsupported" or "as-is" technology. It was a stopgap. Autodesk used this transition to strongly encourage developers to migrate their VBA projects to VB.NET or C#, utilizing the more robust .NET API. While the VBA module allowed the old engine to run, it could not leverage the full potential of the 64-bit architecture in the way a compiled .NET plugin could. It was a lifeline, not an upgrade.

On , LongPtr evaluates to a 64-bit LongLong memory address.

In a 64-bit environment, memory pointers and window handles (like hWnd ) occupy 8 bytes instead of 4 bytes. Change variable types that hold pointers from Long to LongPtr .
