# Introduction

> Cloud builds for Unreal Engine. Push code, get builds. Pipe straight into pixel streaming if you want.

BuildPixel takes the build off your laptop and into the cloud.

Connect your repo, map your project, hit Build (or schedule it), and a packaged Unreal Engine build appears — ready to download, or pushed straight into a [StreamPixel](https://streampixel.io) runtime for pixel streaming.

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Connect your repo">
    GitHub via the BuildPixel App, or Perforce with a service user. One install per organization.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Map your project">
    Pick the repo (or stream) for your project. BuildPixel reads the `.uproject`, picks up the engine version, and lets you choose a platform (Win64, Linux, Mac, Android, iOS) and a build type (Development, Shipping, Server).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Build, or schedule it">
    Hit **Build now** to run it once, set the build setting to fire on every push, or put it on a schedule. Logs stream to the dashboard in real time.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Ship it">
    Download the artifact when it's done — or have BuildPixel push it directly into StreamPixel for pixel streaming.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Tight StreamPixel integration

If you're shipping your UE app via pixel streaming, BuildPixel and [StreamPixel](https://streampixel.io) are built to work together.

Configure your build setting with a StreamPixel runtime URL, and every successful build is auto-deployed there — your players get the new version automatically as soon as the build finishes. No download, no manual upload, no in-between.
