PixelOver
PixelOver is software for converting images, GIFs, spritesheets, and 3D models into pixel art.
What PixelOver is
PixelOver is software for converting images, GIFs, spritesheets, and 3D models into pixel art. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and supports real-time animation. Color tools include real-time adjustment, palette indexing, and dithering. Animation features cover keyframes, bone rigging with inverse kinematics, mesh deformation, and color cycling. Imported 3D models can be auto-rotated so sprites can be exported in multiple directions. Exports include PNG images, GIFs, and sprite sheets, with Aseprite listed as an export format. The free demo includes the features but disables exporting; projects saved there work with the full version. PixelOver costs $19.99, paid once-time payment and includes future updates. The maker describes its algorithms as deterministic rather than generative AI, and says application data remains local without personal-data collection, processing, transmission, or storage.
