Overview

About this plugin

PixeBuilder is a free drag & drop page builder for WordPress. Click any element on your page and edit it right there with the on-click popup, or switch to a classic side panel when you want every setting in view.

Pages stay lean: PixeBuilder outputs clean HTML and loads only the CSS and JavaScript each page actually uses.

The free version is a complete builder, not a trial: no time limit, no credit card, unlimited sites. When a project needs more, PixeBuilder Pro adds 100+ elements, 400+ prebuilt blocks, 200+ prebuilt pages, AI writing and image tools, and a header, footer and popup builder, with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Built by a team with 14+ years of WordPress theme and plugin development.

Why PixeBuilder

Two ways to edit, one click apart

Click any element to open a compact settings popup right on the canvas, or switch to the Side Panel when you want every setting in view. Change modes at any time.

Lightweight by design, so your pages load fast

PixeBuilder adds no jQuery to your pages: its scripts are plain JavaScript. Icons are inline SVG, so there are no icon fonts, images further down the page lazy-load, and PixeBuilder’s styles and scripts load only on pages built with it. A resource manager loads only the CSS and JavaScript each page needs, and the output is clean HTML, so your pages stay lean as your site grows.

Set your styles once, use them everywhere

Add Google Fonts or upload your own in the Font Library, then save typography and color presets and reuse them on every page.
