Quaxel: Pixel Art & Music

Sprites, chiptunes and scenes

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Draw a sprite, score a song and watch it all move in one tiny studio. Now with Apple Pencil, sprite animation and six new app icons. Draw it. Score it. Scene it. Quaxel is a tiny studio for pixel-art worlds that move to music. Draw a sprite, write the soundtrack and build a living scene where the waves break on the beat, all in one app and one project file. PIXEL • Draw pixel by pixel with Apple Pencil, with hover preview and double-tap or squeeze to switch tools • Pencil, eraser, fill, eyedropper, mirror and flip • Four directions per sprite (right, front, left, back) or a single view • Animation clips per direction: idle, walk, anything you name, with onion skin and adjustable FPS • Palettes with named color groups, and color sheets to recolor a whole sprite at once SOUND • A layered song with drums, bass, pads, rhodes, sanshin plucks, vinyl and surf • Every instrument is editable: oscillators, filters, envelopes, FM and plucked strings • Step sequencer for drums and a piano roll for melodies • A lo-fi master bus for that warm, dusty sound SCENE • Stack layers: gradient bands, regions, moving crests, particles, wandering sprites, sun flares and color grades • Loops tie any property to the beat, so foam rolls in and glints sparkle in time with the song • Start from the Beach recipe, or build any world from scratch RENDER • Play your scene full screen with its soundtrack • Export a 1080×1920 MP4 with audio, ready to share (Quaxel Pro) YOUR FILES, YOUR DEVICE Projects are .quaxel documents in Files and iCloud Drive. No account, no tracking, no ads. QUAXEL PRO Free includes all three editors, animation, palettes, sound and the Beach recipe.
