$3.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Create pixel-perfect animations right on your phone. Draw frame by frame, preview with onion skinning, and export as GIF or video — fully offline, no account needed. Whether you're crafting retro game sprites, designing 8-bit characters, or creating pixel art loops — Pixel Art Animation gives you everything you need, right on your device. ▸ PIXEL-PERFECT DRAWING Draw on a precise pixel grid with 8 specialized tools: Pencil, Eraser, Flood Fill, Line, Rectangle, Circle, Eyedropper, and Move. Choose from canvas sizes ranging from 16×16 to 128×128 pixels (up to 256×256 on iPad). ▸ ONION SKINNING See the previous frame as a translucent overlay while you draw the next one. Adjust opacity from 5% to 50% — the classic animation technique for smooth, consistent motion. ▸ REFERENCE IMAGES Import a reference image and overlay it on your canvas. Pan, zoom, rotate, and adjust opacity — ideal for tracing, rotoscoping, or working from photo references. ▸ FRAME MANAGEMENT Add, duplicate, reorder, and clear frames with intuitive controls. Set individual background colors per frame from 16 presets — perfect for scene transitions. ▸ SMOOTH PLAYBACK Play your animation at adjustable frame rates from 1 to 30 FPS. Loop playback lets you preview your animation cycle continuously. ▸ EXPORT IN 5 FORMATS Export as animated GIF, MP4 video, single-frame PNG, sprite sheet, or multi-page PDF. Share directly to social media, messaging apps, or save to your photo library. ▸ MULTIPLE PROJECTS Create and manage unlimited animation projects. Each with its own canvas size, frame rate, and settings. Search and filter projects by name or canvas size. ▸ HOME SCREEN WIDGET Add a widget to your home screen showing your latest pixel animation at a glance. ▸ FULLY OFFLINE & PRIVATE No account. No cloud. No tracking. No ads. All your pixel art and animations stay on your device only. Pixel Art Animation is designed for pixel artists who value simplicity and privacy.
