FAQs

Is Piny Free truly free, or is it a trial version?

Piny Free is completely free with no time limitations, accounts, or data collection. It provides core functionality for basic editing needs. The Pro version offers additional advanced features for those requiring more comprehensive visual development tools.

How does Piny's Visual Select feature work?

Visual Select uses advanced DOM to JSX mapping, allowing you to click directly on elements in your design for styling. It includes a tiny script in your project's layout, active only in dev mode, to enable communication with Piny. While generally accurate, complex component structures may occasionally affect precision.

What happens to my projects if Piny is discontinued?

Your projects remain safe and fully functional. Piny directly edits standard React/Next.js code without adding any dependencies on its tool. If Piny were discontinued, you could continue editing your code as before, and your projects would work normally without issues.

Can Piny be used with static HTML or WordPress projects?

No, Piny is specifically designed for Astro, React, and Next.js projects with Tailwind CSS. For static HTML or WordPress development, the creators recommend using Pinegrow Web Editor, which is their flagship standalone desktop application.
