Spritelove
What it is
Spritelove is a native iOS pixel art editor and sprite animation studio for iPad and iPhone. Its 13 drawing tools include pen, eraser, fill, line, shapes, move, rotate, mirror, select, and rig. The timeline organizes layers and animation frames, with frame management and onion skin overlays; bones can be attached to layers for skeletal animation. Color tools include three palettes and a grays palette, an eyedropper, and recent color history. Spritelove exports PNG frames, animated GIFs, spritesheets with JSON metadata, Aseprite files, and native .spl projects. It can also import and export Aseprite files with layer, frame, and palette data. The maker says spritesheets with JSON metadata can be used with popular game engines. The app works offline, and projects and settings are stored locally. The maker says it does not collect, transmit, or store personal data or artwork on external servers. The Free Trial is free; Full Studio costs $9.99, paid once.
