PikoPixel Reviews

Pixen is a professional pixel art editor designed for working with low-resolution raster art, such as those 8-bit sprites found in old-school video games. Take advantage of Pixen's wide array of tools when composing pixel art such as Pencil, Eraser, Brightness, Text, Eyedropper, Zoom, Rectangular Selection, Magic Wand, Lasso, Move, Fill, Line, Rectangle, and Ellipse. Compose your artwork with layers, taking advantage of the flexibility layers provide when working with complex pixel art. Change opacity, blending modes, and more to compose creative effects. Use filters to adjust colors, create effects, and post-process your artwork. With Pixen, you can add and organize commonly-used colors into palettes. Create and arrange image frames in the filmstrip view to piece together animations. Pixen can import animations from animated GIFs, animated PNGs, and even sprite sheets! It can also export animations as animated GIFs, animated PNGs, movies, and sprite sheets. Take advantage of Pixen's grid tools to guide you in placing pixels just where you want them. Define custom patterns to use while drawing with the Pencil, Line, or Eraser tool (instead of a single pixel).
