Abstract

A digital medium environment is described to improve creation and rasterization of a shape through pixel alignment. In one example, a pixel alignment system is implemented at least partially in hardware of a computing device. The pixel alignment system receives an input that specifies a geometry, a stroke setting, and a location that serves as a basis to position the shape. The pixel alignment system then snaps the location as specified by the at least one input to a snapped location based on a pixel grid. The snapped location based on the geometry, the stroke setting, and the location as specified by the input. A rasterization module is then employed to rasterize the shape as pixels based on the snapped location.
