SimplePixelArt is a free, browser-based pixel art editor — no installation and no account required. Draw directly on a pixel grid with a full set of tools, then export a clean PNG.

Tip

Draw on an empty part of the canvas to spawn a new board, then drag its label to arrange your workspace.

How to use it

  1. Pick a canvas size — open the editor and choose a canvas from 8×8 up to 64×64 pixels.
  2. Draw with the tools — paint with the brush, flood-fill regions, work across layers, and turn on mirror mode for symmetric sprites.
  3. Export & share — export your art as a PNG, or publish it straight to the gallery.

Features

  • Brush & eraser — paint or erase individual pixels with precision; adjustable size for fine detail or broad strokes.
  • Fill tool — flood-fill a region with a single click, ideal for coloring large areas fast.
  • Mirror drawing — horizontal or vertical mirroring to draw symmetric sprites twice as fast.
  • Multiple layers — sketch on one, color on another, stack details on top.
  • Undo / redo — full history; experiment freely and step back through any change.
  • Custom canvas sizes — from 8×8 up to 64×64 pixels, whatever fits your project.
  • Color palette — build and save a palette, then swap colors across the whole canvas instantly.
  • Export & share — publish to the community, or export a PNG for games, web or print.
