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

Ratings and reviews

One of the best pixel art programs I've used. It's easy, versatile, and fast. However, it has one bug that makes it unusable. I can only add and remove pallettes, but not switch to the other color pallettes I've made. Without uniform color pallettes available, I can't make anything look good, especially for making game assets.

The app seems to leave the first pixel blank when coloring in one long stroke. Can't adjust colors for the pallet using another color as a base. Very difficult for finding shades and highlights. Needs layers for sure. EDIT: After playing around with this for a while. I have a suggestion of adding hot keys. A secondary button that can be customized that tool it uses. The problem this app has is when you are drawing and mess up. You constantly have to swap out the pencil tool for the eraser tool just for one or two pixels.

I'm no artist, I just needed something for idle doodling. Very clean interface, super easy to use. The best part: there was a bug in the newest version of Android, and within 12 hours of me reporting it, the dev was able to recreate it said there would be a fix in the next patch. Great customer service!
