Pixel Art Editor

Draw pixel sprites on a grid and export them as PNG images.

The Pixel Art Editor is a lightweight canvas for drawing pixel art: pick a grid size (8×8 up to 32×32), choose from the palette or any custom color, click and drag to paint, erase, and export your creation as a PNG.

Pixel art is the modern retro — icons, sprites and avatars built one square at a time. The editor keeps the essentials: a drawing grid, an eraser, a clean slate, and export at a chunky scale so each pixel stays crisp. Click-drag painting makes filling areas fast.

All drawing happens locally on an HTML canvas — nothing is uploaded, and your art exists only where you save it. Export finishes with one click.

Click or drag to draw. Exports at 8px per cell — draw pixel characters, sprites and icons, all locally in your browser.

How to use the Pixel Art Editor

  1. Pick a grid size (8, 16 or 32).
  2. Select a color from the palette or the color picker.
  3. Click or drag across the grid to paint.
  4. Toggle the eraser to remove pixels.
  5. Click 'Export PNG' to download your art.

Frequently asked questions

What is pixel art used for?

Game sprites and icons, avatars, profile pictures, cross-stitch patterns and decorative 8-bit graphics. Small grids are the classic starting point for learning sprite design.

How large is the exported image?

Each grid cell exports at 8×8 pixels, so a 16×16 drawing becomes a 128×128 PNG — sharp, since the editor scales without smoothing. Your source remains pixel-exact.

Can I undo mistakes?

This editor is intentionally minimal — the eraser and Clear button are the corrections. For complex pieces, save drafts by exporting as you go.
