Pixely: Pixel Art for Everyone

A pixel-art editor with palettes, canvas layers, onion skin and animated GIF exchange.

Our take

Consider for sprites and deliberately low-resolution artwork

Drawing tools and palette reduction connect editing with a consistent retro style.

Keep in mind: Large canvases and animation depend on device resources. Dropbox support is described as ending after this version.

What you can do

  • Draw with supported pixel tools
  • Manage palettes and layers
  • Preview tiles or onion skin
  • Import/export eligible GIFs and images

Good for

  • Artists who can test output in their destination game or editor.

Consider alternatives for

  • People expecting every desktop animation format or perpetual Dropbox support.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 9.0.
  • Large canvases and animation depend on device resources. Dropbox support is described as ending after this version.

Privacy & permissions

The developer claims no collection except through optional Dropbox. Artwork and cloud credentials still need protection.
