What is Pixel Guide?

Pixel Guide is an Android application that lets you browse game guides, maps, and charts from the GameFAQs website and download them to your device for offline viewing.

Pixel Guide also allows you to import your own guides directly into the app, including TXT walkthroughs, PDF documents, and image-based maps or charts. This makes it easy to keep all your game reference material in one place, whether it comes from GameFAQs or your own personal collection. Imported guides are treated the same as downloaded ones, with full offline access and a consistent, distraction-free reading experience optimised for Android devices.

The app focuses on providing a clean, readable, and efficient experience for long walkthroughs, FAQs, and reference material: ideal for retro gaming, emulation setups, and handheld Android devices.
