SimplePixelArt：支援多個畫板並保持流暢的像素畫編輯器
I Built SimplePixelArt — A Pixel Art Editor That Stays Smooth With Multiple Boards
SimplePixelArt 是一款免費的瀏覽器像素畫編輯器及工具套件，支援多個畫板，並整合像素畫創作、圖片轉換、精靈圖切割、圖塊集製作及地圖編輯。用戶亦可透過文字提示詞或參考圖片生成像素畫，並將遊戲素材和地圖匯出至不同格式。
Hey devs! 👋
I've been building SimplePixelArt, a free browser-based pixel art editor and toolkit for artists, indie game developers, and anyone who loves pixel art.
My goal is to make creating pixel art and preparing game assets easier, without requiring complicated software installations.
🎨 What Can You Do With SimplePixelArt?
SimplePixelArt is more than just a drawing tool. It brings pixel art creation, image conversion, sprite extraction, tileset building, and tilemap editing together in one place.
🎨 Create & Generate Pixel Art
- Pixel Art Editor — Draw pixel by pixel with layers, palettes, mirror mode, and multiple boards in a smooth workspace.
- AI Pixel Art Generator — Generate pixel art from text prompts or reference images.
- Image to Pixel Art Converter — Convert photos and images into pixel art. Adjust resolution, color count, brightness, contrast, saturation, transparency, and dithering.
- Upload Existing Pixel Art — Import PNG, GIF, and WebP artwork while preserving its original pixel grid.
🧩 Convert & Prepare Game Assets
- Tileset & Spritesheet Slicer — Split spritesheets and tilesets into individual sprites using a grid, automatic detection, or manual selection. Export sprites as a ZIP of PNG files.
- Tileset Editor — Organize tiles, generate auto-tile terrain variations, and export game-ready assets for Godot, Tiled, Unity, and other workflows.
- Tilemap Editor — Build top-down or isometric maps with multiple layers and terrain-aware brushes. Export maps in Tiled's TMJ format.
🌍 Publish & Discover Pixel Art
- SimplePixelArt Community — Discover pixel art, publish your creations, and explore work from other artists.
- Creator Program — Learn about creator features, artwork attribution, licensing, and sharing your work with the community.
🛠️ Why I Built It
I wanted to make pixel art creation accessible while also solving practical problems in game development.
Drawing a sprite is only one part of the workflow. You might also need to convert a reference image, extract sprites from a sheet, create reusable terrain tiles, and assemble those tiles into a game world.
Having separate tools for every step can make the workflow unnecessarily fragmented.
With SimplePixelArt, you can move from creating pixel art to preparing game assets and building maps, all in your browser.
🚀 What's Next?
I'm continuing to improve the editor, expand the creative workflow, and make the platform more useful for both pixel artists and indie game developers.
Feedback is always welcome, especially from developers working with spritesheets, autotiling, tilesets, and tilemaps.
If you're interested in pixel art or browser-based creative tools, give it a try:
I'd love to hear what you think and what features you'd like to see next!
