/ About /

Aseprite is a dedicated pixel art editor and animation tool designed for creating 2D sprites and animations for video games. It supports layered workflows, frame tagging, onion skinning, and a wide range of color tools tailored to pixel art. Users can export their work as PNG sequences, animated GIFs, sprite sheets, and texture atlases.

/ How it works /

Users draw and animate sprites frame-by-frame using pixel-art-specific tools like onion skinning, shading ink, and custom brushes, then export to various formats including GIF, PNG sequences, and sprite sheets.
