Since Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are quite embedded in everyday life, it is necessary to think about the potential that they can also present in education. In this way, it was intended to understand the potential that the Pixton software could bring to the teaching and learning process. Since it is a versatile, creative, and motivating software, an attempt was made to investigate the use of Pixton software as a teaching and learning strategy, to understand what its contributions are to the teaching and learning process. The use of the Pixton software proved to be an adequate resource and promoter of innovative contexts in the teaching and learning process. In general, and considering the results obtained, this software is motivating, creative, playful, adaptable, and transversal to all curricular areas of the 1st Cycle of Basic Education. In this context, Pixton proved to be a promoter of better levels of educational success, thanks to the high levels of interest, commitment, motivation, and involvement on the part of the students that were observed in the activities developed.
