What PixSplat is

PixSplat is a pixel art editor for making graphics, animations, and sprite sheets. Its animation tools include a frame-by-frame timeline, onion skinning, animation tags, and export. Layers have visibility, opacity, and blend-mode controls, plus independent animation timelines. Pen tablets support pressure sensitivity, tilt, and twist.

Both the web and desktop versions are free. PixSplat is available on the web and for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Its `.pxs` project format preserves layers, animation frames, tags, palette, and project settings across web and desktop. Export formats include PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, TIFF, TGA, ICO, EXR, and HDR; PNG sprite strips are documented for use with Godot, Unity, and the web. The desktop version supports a broader range of formats, including PSD, GIF, TIFF, and TGA. The web edition cannot export embedded animated GIFs and does not work offline. It requires Chrome 125+, Firefox 125+, or Edge 125+ with WebGPU support. Desktop offline use is listed for Windows x64 only.
