The editor

Everything a sprite needs, and nothing in the way.

Pixel-perfect tools, layers and a real timeline. Every change is one undo away, and projects save themselves as you draw.

Tools

15 tools with single-key shortcuts

Pencil, eraser, fill, line, rectangle and ellipse, plus checker dither, lighten and darken brushes, a magic wand and mirror drawing on X and Y.

Layers

Layers you can lock

Show, hide, lock, merge and reorder. Every layer row has its own opacity slider, and new layers never cover what you already drew.

Animation

A timeline that plays back

Onion skin, per-frame timing in milliseconds, named frames and forward, reverse or ping-pong playback.

Import

Any picture to pixel art

Bring in a photo or drawing, pick a size and palette, add dithering, and remove the background with on-device Vision.

Color

Swap a color everywhere

See every color in the picture with its pixel count. Tap one, pick a new color, and watch every layer and frame change live.

Export

PNG, sprite sheet, GIF

Export the current frame, a sprite sheet of the whole animation or a looping GIF at 1× to 32×, plus your palette as a GIMP .gpl file.

AI tools

One tap for the tedious parts.

Each AI tool sits right where you need it: next to the palette, the layers or the timeline. You see a preview before anything changes, and it's always one undo.

  • Animate. Bounce, shake, blink, glow or slide, built from frame 1.
  • Balance Colors. Seven looks, from Vibrant to Night, with pixel-art hue shifting.
  • Palette from Words. Type “sunset at the beach” and repaint the picture, shading kept.
  • Auto Shading & Outline. Light from any side, and outlines in a darker shade of each edge.
  • Color Variants & Create Sprite. Palette swaps as new frames, and new characters from a sentence via Image Playground.

Private by design. The AI runs on your device with Apple Intelligence. When you describe an edit, it reads only layer names, sizes and colors, never the picture itself.

Animate · Bounce

6 new frames from one drawing.

Color Variants

The same sprite around the color wheel.

Auto Outline

A selective outline, added in one tap.

Balance Colors · Night

Darker, cooler, same drawing.

One app, three screens

Made for each device you draw on.
