Pixelsito
What it is
Pixelsito is a free, browser-based pixel art editor for sprites, tiles, icons, tilesets, and frame-by-frame animation. Its drawing tools include pencil, eraser, fill, dither, color swap, line and shape tools, text, selections, lasso, and symmetry modes. Projects can use unlimited layers, with opacity, blend modes, grouping, and editable effects such as outlines and shadows. The animation timeline includes onion skinning, adjustable FPS, looping, range tags, and previews. Pixelsito imports images, GIFs, and spritesheets and exports PNGs, animated GIFs, and spritesheets. Projects can be saved as .pixelsito files and palettes as .pixelsitopal files. Autosave stores projects in browser local storage; the maker says artwork is not uploaded to its servers and no account is required. Ad partners may use cookies or similar technologies. The terms allow personal and commercial creative use, and say artwork belongs to its creator. There is no fixed canvas-size limit, though very large canvases may run more slowly depending on the device.
