What Eddy McPixel is
Eddy McPixel is a browser-based pixel art editor for making sprites, retro game art, icons, and illustrations. Its drawing tools include a pencil, eraser, dithering brush, flood fill, eyedropper, shapes, gradients, selections, and symmetry drawing. For game art, it supports tilesheet editing, tile maps, seamless tiling with a 3×3 preview, and reference image guides. The editor includes unlimited layers, named palettes such as Eddy Default, Endesga 32, PICO-8, and Grayscale, and support for custom colors. Projects can be saved as portable .eddy files; work auto-saves in the browser, and PNG export supports 1×–16× scale. Artwork is processed locally in the browser and remains on the device unless exported. The free plan has no watermarks or usage limits. Premium costs $1.99/mo and adds cloud backup and sync, sharing and collaboration, version history, and an ad-free editor. Shared documents allow one editor at a time, while others can view.
