Pixel Art Editor

A free, browser-based pixel art editor for drawing sprites, icons and tiles by hand. Pencil, eraser, fill bucket, eyedropper, line, rectangle and ellipse tools, a layer system, undo/redo history and a custom colour palette — no install, no login, works offline once loaded.

Need a starting point instead of a blank canvas? Nine procedural generators can rough one out in a click, then you take over with the drawing tools.

Building a full sprite from scratch instead? Try the Sprite Maker. Need to export multiple frames as one file? Use the Sprite Sheet Maker. Or open the full editor.
