Pixel Edit

What Pixel Edit is

Pixel Edit is a free, open-source pixel art and sprite animation editor that runs in a web browser. Its workspace combines drawing and animation controls for creating pixel-based artwork and animated sprites. Layer controls let you work with separate layers and adjust opacity. Colors can be entered through Hex or RGBA fields, while the palette provides controls for setting primary and secondary colors and removing a palette color. A zoom control changes the editor view. For animation, Pixel Edit includes a timeline, a Frames control, and a displayed frame count. Timing controls show frames per second and frame duration in milliseconds, allowing the animation pace to be set directly. The interface also includes an Export control for output. Pixel Edit is listed as free, with open source given as its pricing note. The supported platform is web, so the editor is accessed online rather than through a listed desktop or mobile application. Its controls are focused on pixel editing, palette and layer handling, frame organization, timing, zoom, and export. Visit https://pixeledit.net/ to open the editor.
