## What is Pixel Art Animator?

Free to download. No ads. No tracking — ever.

Create pixel-perfect animations on your phone. Pixel Art Animator is a frame-by-frame pixel editor with onion skinning, reference images, and exports — fully offline, no account needed.

▸ PIXEL-PERFECT DRAWING
Draw on a pixel grid with Pencil, Eraser, Fill, and Eyedropper (Free). Pro adds Line, Rectangle, Circle, Selection, Move, and Replace Color. Canvas sizes 16×16 and 32×32 (Free); Pro adds 64×64, and 128×128 on iPad.

▸ ONION SKINNING
See the previous frame as a translucent overlay while you draw. Free includes onion skin at the default opacity; Pro adjusts opacity from 5% to 50%.

▸ REFERENCE IMAGES (Pro)
Import a reference image, pan, zoom, rotate, and adjust opacity — ideal for tracing and rotoscoping.

▸ FRAME MANAGEMENT
Add, duplicate, reorder, and clear frames. Free projects support up to 12 frames; Pro unlocks up to 256 frames and per-frame background colors.

▸ SMOOTH PLAYBACK
Play at 1–30 FPS with loop preview.

▸ EXPORTS
Free: animated GIF and single-frame PNG — no watermarks. Pro adds MP4 video, sprite sheet, and multi-page PDF.

▸ PROJECTS
Free: up to 2 animation projects. Pro removes the project cap with search and filter.

▸ HOME SCREEN WIDGET (Pro)
Show your latest pixel animation on your Home Screen.

▸ BACKUP & RESTORE (Pro)
Export and restore your full .pixelart archive.

▸ FULLY OFFLINE & PRIVATE
No account. No cloud. No ads. Your animations stay on your device only.

▸ TRY FREE
Complete a real animation job on Free — draw, preview with onion skin, and export GIF or PNG without watermarks.

▸ PRO UNLOCKS THE STUDIO
Larger canvas, pro tools, all exports, no project or frame caps, reference images, backup, and Home Screen widget. Monthly, annual, or lifetime.

Pixel Art Animator is built for pixel artists who value simplicity and privacy. Download now and start animating.
