What Pixsama is

Pixsama is a pixel-art editor for Android phones and tablets. It supports sprites, small illustrations, and frame-by-frame animation, with offline work and exports available without an account. Drawing tools include pencil, eraser, line, curve, shape, selection, fill, eyedropper, gradients, and Pixel Perfect drawing. The timeline provides frames, playback, and onion skinning; Pro adds frame tags, linked cels, and per-frame duration editing. Projects can use RGBA or indexed colour, including palette-based recolouring. Panels for palettes, timelines, previews, and reference images can be rearranged, resized, docked, or minimised. Free exports PNG and native archives. Pro adds GIF, WebP, sprite sheets, PNG sequences, and editable Aseprite files. Projects remain local, with no account or cloud storage. Android 10 or newer is required. Free projects are limited to 128 × 128 pixels, three layers, and six frames.
