PIXEL ART

How to draw

Pixel art basics.

1. Pick Pencil, Eraser, or Dropper (eyedropper) from the toolbar.
2. Pick a colour from the swatches, or tap the rainbow swatch for a full custom colour picker.
3. Click or drag on the grid to paint pixels one at a time. Erase the same way with the Eraser.
4. Dropper grabs whatever colour is already on a pixel (including the background) and makes it your current colour.
5. The square Background swatch sets the canvas's base colour. Any pixel you haven't painted, or have erased, shows this colour.
6. Undo and redo step through your strokes. Your piece saves automatically.
7. Download saves the canvas as a true-size 32×32 PNG. Handy as an actual sprite or icon asset.

Clear canvas?

This erases every pixel back to the background colour. You can undo it right after, but it won't survive a page reload.
