Everything I’ve been looking for

I make crochet tapestry’s and I’ve been looking for an app that I can make images into grids and then edit them to make them compatible with my medium. This app does all that. I can customize the size of the grid, i can put in the image, and I can manually edit it to tweak everything perfectly all with no payment or subscription, which their competitors were not able to. Amazing app and I will use it many times. The only thing that I can’t figure out(I’m not very tech savvy tho so this could just be me) is how to have multiple grids saved in the app at once as I’m usually working on multiple projects at once. Overall amazing!

Fantastic App

I’ve always wanted to make sprites, even animated ones, and this app hits pretty much every nail on the head in this regard. You can also save the sprites as images, including animated gifs to your phone/tablet, which makes it even better.If I have one gripe, it’s that the “Copy Color” option to transfer a specific color to all other animation frames doesn’t work, forcing me to have to manually change the color of each unique sprite in said animation. Not the worst thing in the world, but makes things a tad more tedious; an update to fix this would take this app from being excellent to perfect.

Excellent Free App

I love how simple it is. I don’t need my color palette saved, I don’t need any pictures saved. The colors are easy to toggle. You can export directly to apps like godaddy studio (formerly Over) keeping the transparent background. If I had one note that is it. Exporting by saving the pic should keep the transparent instead of making that are white. But like I said there’s ways around it and I love that. Larger canvases (smaller pixels) would be nice but considering the app is asking for so little and the ads are so minimal there’s nothing not to like.

My personal favorite pixel art tool

This is my personal favorite pixel art tool personally. Also to keep in mind I am an amateur and I have very crappy handwriting. However how this works is that everything is grid based. You chose a color and put that color in that tiny square on the grid. (It more works like a very tiny paint bucket tool for each square.) That personally makes it very convenient for me and I will recommend anyone who is interested on getting into Pixel art but doesn’t have much experience on it at all to get the PixelArt app.

• Better photo import — built-in retro-style palettes, adjustable dithering (fine-dot color blending), and indexed PNG files keep their original palette • Save your color palettes — keep palettes you've made and reuse them in other artworks or when importing photos • Import from other apps — tap Share on an image in Photos or other apps and choose PixelArt to turn it into pixel art • Transparency on/off — choose for each palette color whether it's transparent; fully opaque artworks are now possible • Bug fixes and small improvements
