It is a free software with animation, It is easy to save/upload/download files, and can be used on almost every platform! (except mobile :) )

What is Piskel?

Remember the good old 2D games and their beautiful sprites? With Piskel you can create your own in a few clicks.

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.
