Before you choose

Start with the cost model

Check the Free plan field before you choose a tool. A free plan and a free trial are separate entries, so use the label that matches how you want to try the software.

The Paid from field gives a starting price when the maker publishes one.

Match the platform to your device

Compare supported platforms with the device you use. The list covers Windows, macOS, web, Linux, Android and iOS tools.

Match the drawing workflow

Use the Animation timeline, Onion skinning and Tilemap tools fields to check whether a tool fits frame-based work or tile-based scenes.

Indexed color tools can matter when you need controlled palettes.

Check export needs

Review Sprite-sheet export and Export formats before you commit to a workflow. These fields show how a tool handles the files you need to take elsewhere.

Look at the licence

If you need to read or change the code, check the tool's open-source status and licence information before choosing it.
