Pixel Assets Studio: Pixel Art

Pixel Assets Studio is a pixel art editor built for making game assets. Draw sprites, characters, items, tiles and UI, turn them into variants and animations, preview them in context, and export sprite sheets, texture atlases, PNG and GIF ready for your game.

Start from a template, not a blank canvas. Every pixel is drawn by you: no AI generation.

🧩 Templates & Asset Types
• Starter templates for characters, weapons, potions, trees, furniture, UI buttons, effects and tiles
• Templates open as named part layers (blade, guard, handle…) so you edit pieces, not a flat image
• Asset types with size presets: Character, Item, Environment, Furniture, UI, Effect, Tile
• Canvas sizes from 16x16 up to 512x512

🖌️ Pixel-Perfect Drawing
• Pencil, eraser, fill, color picker, line, rectangle, ellipse and polygon
• Symmetry drawing on X, Y or both axes
• Selection, move, copy, paste, flip and rotate
• Layers with opacity, lock, hide, merge and rename
• Two-finger tap to undo, three-finger tap to redo, long press to pick a color
• Reference image layer that is never exported
• Stamp library: save a selection and reuse it anywhere

🎨 Palettes & Smart Tools
• Color replace and palette reduction (64 down to 4 colors) with before/after preview
• Import palettes from .gpl, .hex and .pal files
• Smart outline and smart shadow
• Procedural fills: noise, dither, patterns and sprinkle, using only your palette
• Quality checker: color count, stray pixels, semi-transparent and off-palette pixels

🧱 Tileset Editor
• Seamless tile preview from 2x2 to 8x8 and wrap offset
• Make Seamless, tile rotate, flip and duplicate
• Paintable preview map and 16 or 47 auto-tile sets

🎬 Sprite Animation
• Frames, FPS, onion skin, loop and ping-pong playback
• Live animation preview before export

🌈 Variants & Batch Work
• Palette-swapped variants (iron, gold, magic…) linked to the source asset
• Batch rename, recolor, outline, resize and export asset packs
• Version history: save, compare, restore and duplicate versions

🗂️ Asset Library
• Search, tags, favorites, recent and collections
• Organize packs like My RPG, Fantasy UI or Enemy Pack
• Back up projects and share asset packs as files

🖼️ Game-Context Preview
• View assets on light, dark, grid or scene backdrops at 1x to 16x

📦 Game-Ready Export
• PNG scaled 1x to 16x with crisp nearest-neighbour pixels
• Sprite sheets: horizontal, vertical, grid or packed, with padding, spacing and trim
• Texture atlas packs with JSON metadata for popular game engines
• Animated GIF, PNG frames and lossless WebP

📥 Import
• Turn any image into pixel art with your chosen size and palette
• Import GIFs and sprite sheets as frames, or paste from the clipboard

💾 Local-First
• Projects are saved on your device with autosave and crash recovery
• Draw and export offline

Made for indie game developers, game jam teams, modders and pixel artists who need 8-bit and 16-bit assets fast: RPG characters, enemies, weapons, items, tiles, icons and effects.
