Pixelart Studio: Sprite Maker

Pixel Art by Amora is a pixel art and animation studio built from scratch for iPad and Mac. The feel is inspired by Procreate, the output is pure pixels: no blur, no interpolation, every pixel exactly where you put it.

DRAWING THAT SPEAKS PIXEL ART
Draw freehand and hold the pencil at the end of a stroke: QuickShape turns it into a perfect line, rectangle, ellipse or polygon, snapping to the classic pixel art angles.
Independent brush axes, spray, pressure shading, glow and a silhouette brush that closes your outline and fills it when you lift the pencil.
Four axis symmetry, Lock Alpha, one coat of paint per pixel and Smart Nudge to snap shapes to their neighbours.
Shape Controls with isometric shapes, center edge cube, cylinder, stairs, rounded corners and height extrusion.
Parallax Assist gives each layer a depth slot and plays the scroll right inside the canvas.

REAL ANIMATION
Timeline with per layer frames, onion skinning, animation tags to split your character actions and a scrub bar with playhead to land on the exact frame.
Layers with folders, blend modes, opacity, continuous layers and a reference layer.
Play the whole project or loop a single tag.

SMART SELECTION
Tap an object and the whole object is selected. Tap a color and it is selected across the layer, connected or not.
Freehand and polygon lasso, 9 slice scaling in the Unity Sliced style, rotation and mirroring.
With the grid on, each tap picks a whole cell, perfect for slicing tilesets.
Erase or transform the same selection across every frame at once.

PROFESSIONAL EXPORT
PNG, JPG, GIF, image sequence and sprite sheet with a configurable grid.
MP4 in 4:5, 9:16, 1:1, 16:9 or the canvas ratio, with a safe area drawn over the canvas so you compose while seeing what makes the cut, plus loop repetition inside the file.
Choose what goes out: everything, the current frame or a tag, in every format.
Opens and saves .aseprite, so your work is never locked in.

IPAD AND MAC
On iPad, Apple Pencil with pressure, two and three finger gestures and a session time lapse to publish your process.
On Mac, the same app with keyboard shortcuts, trackpad hover hints and mouse wheel zoom.
Your projects and the .aseprite files travel between both.

Maximum effort!
