Paint
Draw pixel art with pixel and vector tools, with Display P3 and HDR colour, dithering and halftones, a component system, auto layout and frame-by-frame or code-driven animations.
Pixel tools
Paint pixel art the classic way. Using pencil, eraser and marquee tools, craft your art pixel by pixel.
Vector tools
Design curves and shapes that render into pixel-perfect pixel art, or use the vector brush to draw organic strokes.
Swatch-based palette
You can draw freely with any colours, or use indexed-colour palettes that can be easily recoloured later. Includes a colour theme generator and a colour scale builder.
Display P3, HDR and visual effects
Support for colours past sRGB and HDR, with visual effects such as grain, lens distortion, scanlines, curves and chromatic aberration, helps you create stunning artworks.
Dithering
Dithered fills, strokes and gradients, and opacity rendered as dithers, to keep colour blending and translucency in pixel art style. Use pattern fills if you'd like customised dither patterns.
Component system
Reuse components and patterns in your artwork.
Auto layout
Let frames manage the layout of their contents with auto-layout rules.
Boolean shapes
Union, subtract, intersect and exclude.
Masks and blend modes
Experimental support for masks, clipping masks and blend modes. The masking might need a bit more work!
Text on a path
Set text on a path if needed, apart from the regular point type and area type options. Draw a vector, and click on it with the vector tool.
Animation support
Create frame-based animations with Sprites, or use Programs to animate with code.
Multiple viewfinders
View your artwork in different viewfinders, isolating different parts of the artwork to improve efficiency.
Use your own fonts
Fonts you create with the Font Editor can be used directly inside your artworks.
Import
Import your pixel artworks created in Photoshop or Aseprite (partial support) to pick them back up in Pteropixel.
Export
Support for common formats such as PNG, JPG, SVG, AVIF (HDR), MP4 and more, and create PDF exports with print marks.
Share your work
Share your work as it was last saved as read-only links that play in the browser.
Keep data on your computer
Using a Chromium browser, you can keep your work in a folder on your computer, which can also be easily accessed and edited by any of your coding agents.
Multiplayer
Collaborate with others and see what they are working on, also helps when working on the same artwork from different devices.
AI
If it is your style, plug in an Anthropic or OpenRouter API key and chat with the robot to help you work on and manage your artworks.
