Mega Voxels

Mega Voxels is a mobile workspace for making 3D voxel models and 2D pixel art on iOS and Android. It best fits artists, game creators, and beginners who want modeling, animation, and export tools without leaving a phone or tablet. The combination is unusually broad for mobile, but the 256×256×256 model limit and one-design premium license matter for production workflows.

Overview

The app brings together a 3D voxel editor and a 2D pixel-art editor. Pencil, Bucket Fill, and Magic Wand tools cover direct drawing and region-based edits, so it can serve both model-making and sprite-style work. A library of more than 450 voxel models provides ready-made starting points, while the maximum model size of 256×256×256 supports detailed assets but rules out genuinely large voxel constructions.

Mega Voxels handles MagicaVoxel VOX files and OBJ export, with exports intended for workflows involving Unity and Blender. Scene editing, texture painting, animation tools, and game-engine export extend it beyond a simple model sketcher. Creators can save video animations and inspect designs in augmented reality, useful for presentation and spatial previews. The app is owned and operated by Go Real Games, LLC.

Key features

• Dual editors: The 3D voxel and 2D pixel-art modes suit creators who alternate between models and sprites. Someone committed to only one format may find the combined toolset unnecessary.
• Model resources: More than 450 voxel models shorten the path from a blank canvas to a usable asset, while the 256×256×256 ceiling defines the practical scale of projects.
• Interchange and production: VOX support preserves MagicaVoxel compatibility; OBJ export provides a route into Unity, Blender, and other 3D workflows. Scene editing and texture painting add control before export.
• Animation and AR: Saved video animations and augmented-reality viewing make it possible to present work, not just create still models.
• Content licensing: Free content licenses cost nothing. Premium licenses require payment or a valid subscription, cover one design each, and do not permit premium content to be copied, downloaded, or distributed as a standalone item.

Pricing

The free plan costs nothing and includes the app download plus free content licenses. It is the sensible starting point for learning the editors and working with free assets, but premium content licensing is not included.

Weekly Premium costs $1.99 a month, billed weekly, and includes premium content licenses during a valid subscription. Monthly Premium costs $4.99 a month, with the same one-design-per-license rule. Yearly Premium costs $49.99 a year and also includes those licenses. Premium plans are worthwhile when a project depends on premium assets, but none removes the restriction against treating premium content as a standalone distributable item.

Platforms

Mega Voxels runs on Android and iOS smartphones and tablets. Its mobile focus is convenient for portable creation, while creators who require a desktop-native editor should consider the alternatives below.

Who it's for

Artists and beginners get two accessible art modes in one app, and gamers or game creators gain VOX and OBJ paths toward tools such as Unity and Blender. It is a stronger fit for mobile-first asset creation, animation previews, and AR presentation than for teams needing large models or broad premium-asset reuse. The service may collect email addresses and usage data, use cookies, Google Analytics, and advertising providers; its policy does not guarantee absolute security, which privacy-sensitive users should weigh.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Combines 3D voxel and 2D pixel editing in one mobile app.
• More than 450 models, animation, scene editing, texture painting, AR viewing, and game-engine export support varied workflows.
• VOX and OBJ export connect mobile work with MagicaVoxel, Unity, and Blender.
• A free tier and no-cost free content licenses allow experimentation without a subscription.

Cons

• The 256×256×256 model maximum limits very large assets.
• Each premium license covers only one design, and premium content cannot be distributed as a standalone item.
• Premium subscriptions add recurring cost for access to licensed premium content.
• Android and iOS are the only supported platforms.

Alternatives

Verdict

Choose Mega Voxels if you want a versatile voxel-and-pixel studio on iOS or Android, with animation, AR, and exports that can feed desktop and game-engine workflows. Its free tier makes exploration low-risk, while premium subscriptions address licensed asset use. Look elsewhere if you need desktop platforms, models larger than 256×256×256, or premium assets that can be reused and distributed independently.
