08 / FAQ

A FEW ANSWERS.

What is included in Free?

The complete pixel editor: tools, selections, layers, groups, Quick Shades, PNG import, Project Details, traits and project saving. Single Item PNG export with both optional JSON formats, collection setup and local Collection Preview are also Free.

What requires Pro?

Pro unlocks permanent collection production: Create Collection, Add to Collection, Resume Collection and Extend Collection. It includes bulk PNG and metadata output, automatic numbering and collection-wide duplicate checks.

Is Collection Preview free?

Yes, in both Free and Pro. Configure the real collection target, group roles and Balanced, Random or Weighted distribution, then choose Preview Collection. No destination folder is needed.

Is Preview saved or exported?

No. It creates temporary local examples, with no saved PNG/JSON files, manifest or permanent collection state. Regenerate Preview replaces the examples; closing removes them. Back to Settings keeps your settings while the configuration screen remains open. A preview cannot be continued with Add, Resume or Extend.

Why only 100 preview items?

A preview is a sample to check your artwork before production. It shows up to 100 unique examples, or fewer for a smaller target or duplicate-heavy artwork. Set the full target first: 10% of 3,000 plans 300 items. Balanced and Weighted planned counts refer to that full target, not the sample. The sample does not guarantee the final mix; Random does not guarantee exact percentages.

Can Pro create more than one collection?

Yes. Create as many collections as you want, with up to 10,000 items in each collection. Each collection still depends on the unique artwork your source can produce.

Is 10,000 a monthly limit?

No. The limit is 10,000 items per collection. It is not a monthly allowance or a total across all your collections.

What happens when Pro expires?

The app returns to Free, including the complete editable pixel editor and Single Item export. Starting a new permanent Create, Add, Resume or Extend action requires active Pro. An already authorized generation can finish safely.

Do I lose projects or exports?

No. Projects remain fully editable and existing collection output stays yours. Nothing is deleted, locked or watermarked when Pro ends. Keep backups of your own files.

How does Restore Purchases work?

Choose Restore Purchases in the JENCHA Pixel application menu or Pro window. Apple checks purchases for your Apple Account. Use the account used for the subscription. If an active Pro subscription is found, access is restored; otherwise Free remains available. Restoring does not start production.

How do I manage or cancel my subscription?

Choose Manage Subscription… in the JENCHA Pixel application menu or Pro window to open Mac App Store subscriptions. Canceling stops automatic renewal. Pro remains active until the end of the paid period.

Does JENCHA upload my artwork?

No. Your artwork stays local on your Mac. JENCHA Pixel does not upload your artwork or projects to JENCHA. You choose where to save your files.

Is an account required?

No JENCHA account is required to create, save, export individual artwork or preview a collection. Apple handles Pro purchases and subscription management through your Apple Account.
