What Pixilart is

Pixilart is an online drawing application and art community for making and sharing pixel art, including game sprites and icons. Its tools include layers, brushes, stamps, text, dithering, and Pixel Perfect. Frames, an animation timeline, onion skinning, and indexed color tools support animated pixel-art projects. Users can make canvases under 700 pixels and download at 1x or 50x, including layers, frames, or an entire GIF. Export options include GIF, WebP, MP4, WebM, PNG, sprite sheets, and .pixil files. Pixilart works in web browsers and has iOS and Android apps; its free mobile app includes 15+ tools, filters, stamps, palettes, layers, frames, and GIF creation. Registered users can share art, collaborate, give feedback, and follow artists. Teacher accounts can manage student accounts, set up virtual classrooms, customize settings, and assign tasks. Pixilart says drawings are reviewed before public display. Users under 13 need parental or guardian consent and receive restricted accounts that block communication features. Conversations are public, with no private messaging. The Free plan costs nothing; PRO costs $4.99 a month after a 3-day free trial.
