About this app

Pixel Brush is a pixel art creator, helping you to learn a new hobby and create merch! Unlike color by number apps, you create your own 8 bit art and use it to create merch.

This drawing app for kids and adults helps you learn to draw art! You can draw 8 and 16 bit graphics, share to the community, and gain feedback.

Import your pixel art from Aseprite into Pixel Brush, and export it back to Aseprite.

Intuitive for beginners

• Pinch to zoom and tap to draw
• Pick from professional built-in color palettes, or import one from Lospec
• Zooming in reveals a mini-preview (try dragging it around)

Animate like a pro

• Create beautiful animations with onion-skinning, then share your pixel animation as a GIF/MP4
• Speed up or slow down individual frames
• Layers let you separate elements of your art, handy for organization

Grow as an artist

• Share your pixel art with the friendly community, we'd love to see your creations!
• Create art on canvases up to 1024x1024
• Save unlimited color palettes (including 8 bit palettes)

Other features:
• Export and import Aseprite files
• No ads
• Saving happens automatically, so you can focus on your creations
• Sharp exports with no blurring
• Create Isometric lines
• You can use a mouse if you'd prefer!

Designed for easy drawing, Pixel Brush is a pixel art creator app which can help you learn how to draw and start your new hobby!

Plenty more features are coming soon, so follow on social media (links in app) and stay tuned!

Ratings and reviews

Great! My main issue with this is the limited amount of layers (2 max without paying) and the fact that some images, when imported, will appear blurry even if they aren't before being uploaded. For example, I have had frequent issues with images sized 160×144, the resolution of Game Boy or Game Boy Color screens, and have had to resize them with a site that prevents them from getting even more blurred, and then import them and resize them back to normal within the app.

I don't leave reviews often, but pixel brush has actually allowed me to rekindle an old passion I used to have for pixel art, and I've started picking it up again, it's been extremely helpful, if there's one thing i'd like to suggest is maybe a way to set a color palette as your Default palette so that the selected palette will automatically be selected when you start a new project I know you can save multiple, but making one that's selected by default could be really handy. Love the app <3

Though this app is perfect for drawing and even animating, I've been having issues with my phone freezing while using it. Twice now have I had to force restart my phone because the app would just freeze everything to a point where I couldn't exit. But, if your device is stronger, this app is great! I've had fun making little animations of my characters :]
