New in 1.3.0: a full sprite sheet with navigation, duplication & copy/paste, shape tools (line, rectangle, circle), and canvases up to 64×64 — PICO-8 & TIC-80 style.
Make pixel art anywhere with a clean, distraction-free editor designed for simplicity and precision.
Pixel Edit Lite is a small, touch-first pixel art and sprite editor for iPhone. Draw with your finger, work offline, and create retro sprites whenever inspiration strikes.
Work on a single sprite or build out a full sprite sheet — navigate between sprites, duplicate them, and copy sprites directly onto other sprites. Choose 8×8, 16×16, 32×32, or 64×64 canvases for sprites, game art, icons, and other pixel art projects. Built with PICO-8 and TIC-80 style sprite workflows in mind, including real PICO-8 clipboard format support.

Pixel Edit Lite is intentionally simple. No complicated desktop-style workflow — just a small pixel editor you can keep with you when you're away from your computer.
I recently started using Pixel Edit Life as a medium for my hobby and I’m seriously impressed with its simple and user-friendly interface. It has the tools that are necessary for any sort if pixel artwork, making it easy to bring my pixel art visions to life. The app’s grid system ensures precise and accurate shapes that can be easily drawn with the swipe of a finger. I highly recommend Pixel Edit Lite for anyone interested in pixel editing, whether you’re a seasoned artist or just starting out.

Just what I needed

This is a perfect minimalistic easel for me to capture my thoughts, iterate and discuss with my team. The touch is frictionless, though at times it picks the adjacent pixel, but I think it’s because of my fat thumb. Good job!
Simple and fun
