Pixel Art Creator

Pixel art is a form of digital art where images are created on the pixel level. This tool lets you create retro-style graphics perfect for game development, icons, avatars, and digital art. It's ideal for beginners learning digital art or experienced artists working on pixel-perfect designs.

You can choose from canvas sizes ranging from 8×8 pixels up to 64×64 pixels. Smaller canvases (8×8, 16×16) are perfect for icons and simple sprites, while larger canvases (32×32, 64×64) allow for more detailed artwork and character designs.

The tool includes: Pencil for freehand drawing, Eraser to remove pixels, Fill tool for coloring areas, Line tool for straight lines, Rectangle and Circle tools for basic shapes, and Eyedropper to sample colors from your artwork. Each tool is optimized for pixel-perfect precision.

Yes! The tool includes several pre-defined palettes: Default (8 basic colors), GameBoy (4 classic green tones), and NES (full retro game console palette). You can also use the custom color picker and the tool automatically saves your recently used colors for easy access.

You can export your pixel art as a PNG image file by clicking the "Download PNG" button. The exported image is automatically scaled up for better quality while maintaining the pixel-perfect aesthetic. You can also copy it directly to your clipboard for quick sharing.

Yes! The pixel art creator includes full undo/redo support. You can safely experiment with your designs knowing you can always revert changes. The history is maintained throughout your session, so you can go back multiple steps if needed.

Absolutely! You can adjust the pixel size from 10px to 30px using the zoom slider. This makes it easier to work on detailed areas by zooming in, or see the overall composition by zooming out. The grid can also be toggled on/off for cleaner viewing.

Yes! This tool is perfect for creating game sprites, tiles, icons, and other pixel art assets. The exported PNG files can be directly imported into game engines like Unity, GameMaker, or Godot. The various canvas sizes support different sprite requirements.

The fill tool uses a flood-fill algorithm to color connected pixels of the same color. Click on any pixel and all connected pixels of the same color will be filled with your selected color. This is perfect for quickly coloring large areas or changing the color of enclosed shapes.

Yes! The pixel art creator is fully optimized for touch input. You can draw, erase, and use all tools with touch gestures on tablets and smartphones. The interface adapts to different screen sizes while maintaining precision for pixel-level editing.

The editor view shows your pixel art with a grid and zoom for detailed work, while the preview shows how your art looks at actual size (1:1 scale). This helps you see both the fine details and the final appearance of your pixel art as you work.

While the current version focuses on intuitive mouse/touch controls, you can use standard browser shortcuts like Ctrl+Z for undo. The tool is designed to be accessible with clear visual buttons for all functions, making it easy to use regardless of your experience level.
