United StatesPixaki Intro is perfect for anyone getting started with pixel art, and a great way to try out the features found in Pixaki Pro. Pixaki Intro lets you create sprites up to 160 × 160 px, with 3 layers and 8 frames of animation. DRAWING • Pixel perfect painting mode automatically removes double pixels when doing line art. • Round, square, and matrix dither brushes. • Line tool, which can be locked to isometric angles. • Rectangle and ellipse tools. LAYERS OF ANIMATION • Layers are shared across the whole project, which means every layer has its own timeline. • Static image layers for background and foreground elements that are the same on every frame. • 18 layer blend modes. • Rename layers. • Reorder layers and frames by using drag and drop. • Scrubbable timeline. • Advanced onion skin options. • Select multiple layers or frames at once to quickly make bulk adjustments. • Use high resolution reference layers to pixel over your sketches and photos. COLOR • Four color selection modes: a square picker with an infinitely scrolling hue slider, sliders for HSB and RGB, hex code input, and the project palette. • Eyedropper to sample any color from the canvas. • Bucket fill, with contiguous or discontiguous options. • Color replace across the whole project. SELECTION • Freehand, rectangular, and color selection. • Use the active selection as a mask. • Cut or copy the selected pixels and paste them to any app that supports pasting images. TRANSFORM • Move without needing to select. Position the image on or off the canvas without clipping. • Scale uniformly up and down, or squash and stretch. • Rotate by any angle. • Flip horizontally and vertically. IMPORT & EXPORT • Import any static image, or a GIF. • Use magnification when sharing to upscale without the results looking blurry. • Export as a single image or image sequence as PNG, TIFF, or JPEG-2000. • Export animated images as GIF or APNG. • Export as a sprite sheet, with configurable columns.

10/10 Recommend!!!
As a Minecraft Partner, I do most of my work on a PC. However, I love my ipad for working on the go. I have tried almost every pixel art app on here for making textures to use in game. We do 16 x 16 textures or 32 x 32. This is hands down the best app for my workflow. I made a draft texture and put it in game. The color match was true…something I haven’t found in other apps. I fail to understand all of the complaints here. This is an intro/demo. It was never intended to have all the bells and whistles. I will be purchasing the pro version when i am done with this review. The $27 for pro is a lot better than an Adobe subscription for simple pixel art. I also do not understand the comparisons to Procreate. It isn’t meant to be like Procreate, so why would it? I am extremely pleased with this app.
United Statesgreat free pixel art app, but with a few minor nitpicks
i’ve been using medibang for my pixel art (although i admit it was never meant for pixel art lol) and i’ve been meaning to migrate to this app. but there are a few issues that feel more like me nitpicking at certain things than anything 1. the zoom-up grid: when you zoom up to +2,500 magnification there’s this grid, if there was a way to turn it off in settings that would be neat 2. pallet presets: maybe have a new filetype for pixaki color pallettes so people on mobile that don’t have access to abobe photoshop and pasc paintshop pro can make and share color pallets could open up a lot of avenues to creativity. other than those, it’s a great app. i like the ui, too.
United StatesGreat demo!
I had a lot of fun using this. It’s more intuitive than Procreate for me, though that’s likely because this has a more focused feature set. I wish we could get just one additional layer, but this is free software and considering the niche and overall user experience, I think the Pro version will be worthwhile. Really impressive work, especially for a solo dev :) Giving it 5 stars to counter the cheapskates, but I found one annoyance: I kept accidentally triggering the color picker whilst filling in shadows. I tend to apply too much pressure with the pen, so I wish there was a way to disable that gesture - assuming I didn’t overlook it. EDIT: Found where to disable the color picker gesture in the settings, and decided to buy the full app :)
United StatesAMAZING
i hardly rate apps but wow, i had to with this one. i’m just starting to get into pixel art, and this app does everything - its incredible and so easy to use! when i feel more advanced, i will 100% be getting the pro version. thank you so much for making this app!!
United StatesWOWIE!!!
This app is so good, it makes me wonder what the paid for version much be like! Perfect brush, intuitive layout, and wonderful animation mechanics! It’s a dream for a beginner pixel artist like me and the exporting makes it even more perfect for the game I hope to start working on soon! I’ll come back with a review of the paid for version when I can afford it!
United StatesLacking stability, fun to draw
Does the pro version crash like this? I open the gallery and crash. I add keyframes, crash. After a few more hours I noticed it crashes Everytime I try to export after adding keyframes. Thank God I didn't work on drawing them out, was just testing. But you got More crashes than any app I've ever tried out. I run musical equipment thru my same ipad, heavy workload, never crashes. Just saying. I want to buy the pro version because I believe in small teams, non subscription business models and cool art but the crashes...
United StatesGreat app wrong price model
If this intro version was a base model with unlocked full control of layers, a few other tweaks and I'd pay 8 or 12 bucks without thinking about it. Intro too limited, pro too expensive, unless you are indeed making money with it. Base model plz for 10ish.
