8bit Painter is easy to remember because it is narrowed down to intuitive operation methods and the minimum functions necessary for creating pixel art, so you will not get lost in operation. 8bit Painter focuses on ease of use rather than feature richness.

Great for creating NFT art.

Ratings and reviews

This app is incredible. It allows you to choose how big you want the grid to be, which is amazing for different styles of retro feel. It also comes with preloaded designs which are great for inspiration. You can also upload images to turn into pixel art. 5 stars.

I've been using this app for a couple years now and it's been working fine. However, the ads HAVE to stop or at least be dialed back. I just lost 2 hours worth of work on a project I'm getting paid for because some ad decided to pop up in the middle of me working and crashed the application, deleting a ton of progress. The ONLY time an ad should ever rightfully show is when you go to export a project. Especially since you don't give us any tools to use. Meaning it's 1 pixel at a time.

This is a very easy to use app with a simple but effective interface. I've only found a few issues with the app. All of the canvas options are square, and there's now way to do a custom size canvas. Moving the canvas is also a little clunky. Aside from those two relatively minor things though, the app is great!
