Free pixelart editor, based on older version of Aseprite. It's less powerfull than what Aseprite is now, but it's enough for beginners, non-professional artist and minimalists of all kind
Windows Smartscreen blocked the installer. Even if I could unlock the program from the properties myself, the ones who compiled the
exehave to do something about it. I'll try it again after they fix this.Free and Open Source Software
Keeping Aesprite open source and free for all users! Great for making pixel art.
Great free/libre alternative to Aseprite for creating and animating sprites :)
Don't get me wrong, I'm also a fan of Aseprite (best pixel art program IMO), but I loved when it was distributed under GPL2 (sadly Aseprite is propietary since 2016). Now luckily LibreSprite is active again, and its devs are continuing with its development.
LibreSprite's got everything you could want: -Real-time animation previews. -Onion skinning. -Multiple sprites can be edited at once. -Ready to use palettes. -Sprites are composed of both layers & frames. -Tiled drawing mode, useful to draw patterns and textures. -Pixel precise tools like filled contour, polygon, shading mode, etc. -Several file types supported for your sprites and animations. -Free, Libre & Open Source.
Its not discontinued. Its best alternative to asprite.
