Pencil crosshair won't snap to the pixel grid

Is there any way to make the cursor actually snap to the grid while using the pencil tool? It isn't that big of a deal but it would be pretty helpful and I thought I remembered it doing it before but now it won't

Hi @gayprincezote, while Photoshop doesn't have a direct "snap to grid" feature for the pencil tool, here's a little trick that might help you: Try setting the smoothing to 0 in the brush panel at the top. Also, crank up the hardness to 100. Give it a whirl and see if it helps! ^CH
