This article applies to purchases made on store.pixelfilmstudios.com

Interested in purchasing Pixel Film Studios plugins? You’ll need to create an account to get started.

Because all products are digital downloads, your account is required to access, manage, and install your purchases.

Important notes:

  • If you sign up with Google or Apple, you will not have a password for the site
  • Instead, you will use an App Login Key to access the PFS Installer
  • If you sign up with email, your email address cannot be changed later
