A tiny sprite studio in your browser

Pencil, eraser, flood fill, eyedropper, straight lines and rectangles, with Mirror-X for instant symmetrical characters and full undo/redo. Pick from the NES-flavored, pastel or mono palettes or any custom color, and export a transparent PNG at true pixel size or scaled up 8×/16× for sharing. You can even import a small PNG to keep editing it. Your canvas autosaves to this browser on your own device; nothing ever leaves your machine, and it is completely free.

§ 04 · faq

Frequently asked questions.

Is the Pixel Art Maker free?
Yes, completely free for everyone. No sign-up, no account and no usage limits.
Is it private? Are my drawings uploaded anywhere?
No upload, ever. The editor runs entirely in your browser on your own device, your canvas and any PNG you import are processed locally and never leave your computer.
Does it work offline?
Yes, once the page has loaded, drawing, undo/redo, importing and exporting all keep working without a connection, because every bit of logic runs locally in your browser.
Will I lose my art if I close the tab?
No, your canvas autosaves in this browser and reloads when you come back. Clearing site data removes it, so use Download PNG for a permanent copy you control.
What format does it export?
A transparent PNG. Choose 1× for a true one-pixel-per-cell file, or 8× / 16× to scale each pixel up into a crisp, larger image for sharing or use in games.
What are the keyboard shortcuts?
Press P for pencil, E eraser, F fill, I color picker, L line and R rectangle. Ctrl+Z undoes, Ctrl+Y (or Ctrl+Shift+Z) redoes.
