FEATURES

Live preview Piskel gives you a live preview of your work. You no longer have to guess how it will look like when it's done: you see it!

Your gallery Keep track of all the sprites you created. Everyone can see your public gallery, but you can keep any sprite you want private.

Offline versions Offline builds are available for Windows and MacOS.

Export to GIF Since we're animating images, might as well share them as animated GIFs. So yeah.

Open Source If you want to contribute or check the code, everything is on Github.
