App Description
"Pixel Art Maker" is a drawing tool for pixel art like a retro game.
◇ Easy to use
You can draw a pixel art soon after Launching the app.
◇ Import a photo
Pixelate a photo.
◇ Create an animated pixel art.
Draw one pixel art, copy it, and then you can draw an animation.
Feathers:
- Draw pixel art on canvases ranging from 8×8 up to 256×256 pixels.
(I recommend 16×16 or 32×32 for getting started.)
- Change the color palette (up to 256 colors). The basic palette includes 32 colors. The free version supports up to 65 colors; watching an ad temporarily unlocks up to 256 colors. Note that one color is always reserved for transparency.
- Zoom in and out of your canvas for precise editing — just pinch with two fingers.
- Save and load your drawing data.
- Load a photo or an animated GIF file from your Photos library.
- Export pixel art with a transparent color.
- Upscale your artwork up to 2048×2048 when exporting for higher resolution output.
- Save your artwork to Photos.
- Share your artwork with other apps.
- Create and export animated GIFs.
* Animated GIF files are saved to Photos, but they may not animate within Photos.
- Finger Mode
Finger Mode is the default. Draw pixels directly on the screen with your finger.
- Cursor Mode
Move your finger on the screen to move the cursor, then press the "PIXEL" button to place a pixel.
Go to "Menu" → "Settings" → "Change Drawing Mode" to switch to Cursor Mode.
- Premium: Remove ads and permanently unlock the full 256-color palette.
* When running this app on an Apple Silicon Mac (iPad version), photo import has the following limitations:
1. Animated images (e.g., GIF) are not supported.
2. Photos may be imported at low resolution.
