Built for pixels
Tools without smoothing and palettes for working with limited colours.
AIM Pixel
Make pixel art and animate it, in your browser.
You want to draw a character, an icon or a sprite for your game, pixel by pixel, and see it move. AIM Pixel has tools built for pixels, layers, frames and onion skin, and exports animated GIFs and PNG spritesheets. Free and with no account.
Free, no sign-up, no card.
What usually gets in the way
Image editors that blur
Smoothing muddies the edge of every pixel.
Animating is a mess
Without frames or onion skin, animating a sprite is guesswork.
Exporting for the game
Assembling the spritesheet by hand takes time.
How to do it, step by step
Open AIM Pixel and create a canvas
Choose the size in pixels (16×16, 32×32 or whatever you need).
Draw
Pencil, mirror pencil, paint bucket, line, shapes and dithering, with no smoothing.
Animate
Add and duplicate frames and turn on onion skin to see the previous and next ones.
Export
As an animated GIF or a PNG spritesheet ready for your game engine.
