What SpritePaint is

SpritePaint is a free browser-based pixel art maker and sprite editor for drawing, animating, and exporting sprites. Its tools include pencil, eraser, line, circle, rectangle, fill, eyedropper, and lasso selection, with brush sizes from 1 to 64 pixels. Artwork can be organized into layers and nested groups that can be duplicated, reordered, renamed, shown, or hidden. The animation timeline supports up to 100 frames, onion skinning, custom frame rates, and real-time preview. Exports include PNG, animated GIF, sprite sheets, and MP4 video in supported browsers, with scaling from 1x to 64x. Color controls include built-in and saved palettes, RGB and HSL sliders, and an eyedropper. Users can create shareable animation links, and exported work is described as ready for Unity, Godot, and GameMaker. SpritePaint runs in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Chromebook. Work auto-saves in the browser, and .spritepaint files can be saved for transfer or backup.
