Piksilly

Piksilly is a pixel art and sprite animation studio built for Android tablets, but works just as well on phones as well, and a stylus is optional. It is also a one time purchase. No ads, no subscriptions, no account, and no internet required. You buy it, and it's yours forever. Piksilly was originally designed for personal use, meaning it has been quality tested in real use cases. All assets for the folder icon, transform buttons, side buttons, tools, even the Piksilly logo were all created with the app itself. ANIMATION • Frame by frame timeline with instant playback and adjustable playback speed • Onion skinning to see the frames before and after • Duplicate, reorder, and delete frames with a tap LAYERS • Full layer stack with opacity, visibility, merge, and reordering • Every frame shares the layer stack, so complex scenes stay organized TOOLKIT • Pencil, eraser, paint bucket, and shapes (line, rectangle, ellipse) • Rectangle and lasso selection, plus move, flip, and rotate • Mirror drawing, dithering, color picker, and custom palettes • Drop in a reference image to trace over TABLET & STYLUS • Built for tablet and stylus setups, but a stylus is never required, you can draw with your finger just as easily, on a phone or a tablet • Palm rejection • Support for all recognized Android styluses • Pinch to zoom and pan around the canvas • Pair a Bluetooth keyboard for shortcuts such as undo/redo, tools, and more • Landscape workspace with optional autosave, so you never lose your work IMPORT & EXPORT • Import a PNG, JPG, or GIF as a new sprite, or slice a sprite sheet into frames • Export an animated GIF, a PNG sprite sheet, a ZIP of individual PNG frames, or a sprite sheet with JSON for game engines • Save the editable sprite file to pick up right where you left off GALLERY • Organize sprites into colored folders • Saved locally to your own device, your work remains offline and yours SCENE BUILDER • A blank canvas for you to import and arrange various sprites, tiles, and backgrounds from your gallery to create a fully realized artwork PRESET COLOR PALETTES/CANVAS SIZES • In addition to the default color palette, you'll also find preset palettes containing the real color palettes of systems you're familiar with • Accurate canvas sizes for those systems as well, depending on whether you're creating a sprite, tile, or background.
