Summary

2D Tiler is a browser-based editor for game developers working on 2D levels, tilesets, pixel assets, palettes, and exports. Its layered map editor includes paint, erase, fill, select, autotile, and object tools, plus terrain workflows such as diagonal and sparse autotiling, 16-slot Wang autotiling, and weighted terrain fill. A built-in image editor provides drawing, selection, crop, move, and blur tools. Palette imports include GIMP GPL, Adobe ASE, Aseprite, JASC PAL, Paint.NET TXT, and HEX lists. An AI workspace can create tilesets, sprites, backgrounds, icons, UI elements, and visual effects using supported provider families; provider rules determine availability, billing, content rules, and image privacy. Projects run locally in the browser and use browser-based storage. Native formats are .2dp projects, .2dm maps, and .2dt tilesets. Map workflows support Tiled, Godot 4, Unity, GameMaker, Defold, Phaser, tIDE, and Mappy formats. Raster import and export includes PNG, JPG, WebP, BMP, and GIF where the selected path allows. It is open source under the MIT License and free forever, with no recurring subscriptions or arbitrary limits.

Who it is for

2D Tiler suits game developers who want a browser-based workflow for editing 2D maps, tilesets, and pixel assets. It may also suit users who need exports for supported game tools or want an open-source editor.

What is good
