What SpriteSheep is

SpriteSheep is a free, browser-based editor for creating pixel art, sprites, and frame-by-frame animations. Its timeline-style tools let users arrange frames, set timing for each frame, and build looping sequences. Layers can be shown or hidden, locked, reordered, or merged while work is in progress. The palette editor handles indexed colors and can import colors from image data. Dithering patterns and brush options are included for pixel-focused work. SpriteSheep also provides tilemap tools: users can create and manage tilesets, paint across a grid, and export sprite sheets. The Explore page displays public projects such as sprites, animations, tilemaps, and palettes. Anyone can try the editor without an account, although some features may require one. Users keep ownership of their content while granting limited operating permissions. The service is in active development, and its maker is Tezumie.
