From any art to game-ready pixels in 3 steps
Import
Drop in an image, GIF, spritesheet or 3D model.
Tweak
Dial in palette, dithering, lines and color.
Export
Output images, GIFs or sprite sheets, ready for your game.
No generative AI
Every feature runs on deterministic pixel-art algorithms you fully control. Nothing is AI-generated and nothing is trained on other people's art.
Everything you need to craft pixel art
Shaders & effects
Color adjustment & indexation
Real-time color adjustment, palette indexing and dithering.
Lines
Pixel-perfect outlines and inline edges, including depth-based variants.
Color cycling
Animate colors cyclically for water, fire and other looping effects.
Particles system
Advanced 2D & 3D particle system, ideal for looping animations.
Scene & transformation
Pixel art oriented transformation
Pixel-perfect scaling algorithms when rescaling or rotating sprites.
Mesh deformation
Deform sprites with a full mesh deformation system.
Parent-child relation
Nest and group objects with parent-child hierarchy for complex rigs.
Multi layers & clipping mask
Stack layers with per-layer color adjustments, palette indexing and clipping masks.
Rigging & animations
Animated images
Import spritesheets, GIFs or image sequences for frame-by-frame animation.
Bones with IK support
Rig sprites with bones, define a rest pose and animate with Inverse Kinematics.
Key animation
Animate any object property with keyframes. Set individual easing curves per key.
Goes further
3D support with fast export workflow
Import 3D models and auto-rotate to export sprites in multiple directions.
2D & 3D text
Add pixel-art text to your scene in 2D or in 3D.
Drawing tool
Split and adjust images with the built-in drawing tool.
Depth displacement
Automatically generate depth-based displacement from any image.
