No in-app purchases. $4.99, once. Pixelomicon is a pixel art and sprite editor built for people who finish what they start — indie developers, animators, and pixel artists who need real tools, not a toy grid. PROFESSIONAL-GRADE COMPOSITING - Blend modes — Multiply, Screen, Overlay, Darken, Lighten, Add, and Difference for true per-layer compositing - Layer groups — cluster related layers and toggle or dim the whole group at once - Canvas resize, crop-to-content, and trim — from any of 9 anchor points, across every layer and frame - Lossless 90°/270° rotation and crisp integer scaling - Live tiled preview — check seamless game textures without leaving the canvas - Curve tool — place a line, then bend it - Text tool with a bundled pixel font - 9-patch slices — mark stretchable regions for UI frames and scalable game panels A REAL COLOR WORKFLOW - HSV color wheel alongside RGB, HSL, and hex entry - Generate shading ramps and sort any palette by hue or brightness - Start from PICO-8, NES, or DB32 presets — or pull a palette straight out of a photo - Ink tool steps a stroke along your palette's own ramp order for classic hand-shading DRAWING THAT KEEPS UP WITH YOUR HAND - Pixel-perfect strokes — diagonal drags stay a clean one-pixel line, no staircase corners - Custom brushes — capture any selection's silhouette as a reusable brush - Shade tool for dodge and burn, right on the canvas - Replace Color and Invert in one action - Full filter set: outline, blur, noise, despeckle, and a custom 3x3 convolution matrix BUILT TO STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY Canvas redraws only the pixels a stroke actually touches. Onion-skin frames are cached instead of rebuilt on every touch. Selection outlines no longer redraw on every animation tick. And GIF, APNG, and spritesheet export now run off the main thread, so large exports never freeze the UI. Whether you're animating a character walk cycle, building tileable textures for a game, or just drawing for the love of it, Pixelomicon gives you a real toolset without getting in the way of the work.

• New: Stroke Stabilizer — smooths freehand pencil, eraser, shade, and ink strokes behind your touch or Apple Pencil, for steadier lines. Toggle it on next to your brush controls. • New: Linked Cels — link a layer to the same layer in an adjacent frame so they share one editable copy. Paint a background once and every linked frame stays in sync; unlink anytime to make a frame independent again. • Links now survive saving and reopening a sprite.
