Question 1

How do I draw pixel art?

Accepted Answer

Select the Pen tool, choose a color from the palette or custom color picker, then click or drag on the grid to place pixels. Use the Eraser to remove pixels, the Fill tool to flood-fill areas, and the Color Picker to sample colors from existing pixels.

Question 2

Can I undo mistakes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Press Ctrl+Z (or Cmd+Z on Mac) to undo, and Ctrl+Shift+Z to redo. The editor keeps up to 50 undo steps. You can also click the undo/redo buttons in the toolbar.

Question 3

How do I export my pixel art?

Accepted Answer

Click Export PNG to download your artwork as a high-resolution PNG file. Each pixel is scaled to 16x16 actual pixels, so an 8x8 canvas exports as a 128x128 image and a 32x32 canvas exports as a 512x512 image. The background is transparent.

Question 4

What canvas sizes are available?

Accepted Answer

Four grid sizes: 8x8 (great for small icons), 16x16 (classic game sprites), 24x24 (medium detail), and 32x32 (high detail). Changing the grid size clears the canvas, so export your work first if you want to keep it.
