Choose a grid size, pick a color, then click or drag to paint pixel by pixel. Export your finished sprite as a crisp PNG file.
Each grid cell maps directly to one pixel in the exported image, so your artwork stays crisp and exactly the size you designed, with no blurring or resampling.
Hold the mouse or your finger down and drag across cells to paint several pixels in one stroke.
Switch to the eraser tool to clear individual pixels back to transparent.
Toggle grid lines on or off to see cell boundaries clearly while you work.
The downloaded PNG matches your grid size exactly, one file pixel per cell.
You can choose 8x8, 16x16, 24x24, 32x32 or 48x48 pixel grids, common sizes for retro-style game sprites and icons.
Click and hold, then drag across the grid to paint every cell your cursor passes over with the current color.
No, changing the grid size starts a new blank canvas at that size, since the pixel dimensions no longer match.
It exports at exactly one pixel of the file per grid cell, for example a 16x16 grid saves as a crisp 16x16 pixel PNG.
No, everything is drawn locally on an HTML canvas and is lost if you refresh the page without downloading it.
