LÖVE

PiskelApp is a simple pixel art editor suited for animating. It runs entirely in a webbrowser and you can save your piskels online if you sign in. There's also an offline version you can download if you need that.



Features like pixel rotation algorithms (like rotSprite) isn't implemented but for simple hand drawn animations it does a good job.

Getting your animations into your game is straight forward since you can export image sequences or sprite sheets in PNG format.

For you super users out there, if you press the keyboard icon in the bottom left corner (or use the shortcut "?") you get a list of all the shortcuts.

I'm just starting up a hobby project in Löve and I'm currently using piskelapp for all of my animations.


By default your piskels are private but you can flag them so they are visible publicly. Eg. here's my public gallery:

I thought this was a cool little gem so I thought I would löve to share it with you all!

I was looking for something like this, seems really good and useful.
Is there a gallery where I can see other peoples work? I couldn't find that option.

I don't think they have that option. You need a link to find a gallery. I would be neat if they had their own pixel art community around the tool though.

looks solid af. Might actually use this for some of my future stuff.

I was looking for this! I've lost some of the tools I used while learning (and applying Love) and I'm glad to see that this thing is still in the forums.

I can vouch for this. It's a really solid application. Really good if you want a simple program (especially if you're having a hard time with Photoshop modified for pixel art or Graphics Gale).
