Pixel Studio - pixel art editor is creative software for making pixel art, aimed at both artists and game developers. Its design combines a straightforward interface with tools for more involved projects, including layered artwork and frame-by-frame animation. Rather than focusing on one kind of image, it supports both still art and animated sprites, with options to save animations as GIFs or sprite sheets.
The editor offers drawing aids for detailed work, such as a dot pen, symmetry drawing, dithering, and a pixel-perfect preview. Shape, gradient, text, and brush tools broaden the available approaches, while tile mode supports seamless textures. Artists can create or use palettes, adjust colors with RGBA and HSV controls, and work on canvases that can be resized and rotated. Onion skinning helps when building animations frame by frame.
Pixel Studio also emphasizes portability and file flexibility. It supports desktop and mobile use, with Google Drive sync for working across devices, and accepts formats including PNG, JPG, GIF, Pixel Studio Project, and Aseprite files. Autosave and backup are included, and artwork can be shared with friends or the Pixel Network community. Together, these features make it a general-purpose pixel-art workspace that connects drawing, animation, and sharing in one editor. A few advanced features may require more capable hardware for large projects or animations.
