Little pixels. Big feelings. Now your ideas, too. Bring 67 pixel-art stickers to Messages: cute animals, funny reactions, five takes on 67, and two animated designs. Browse by category, search for a feeling, and keep favorites close. All included stickers, search, and favorites work without Studio Unlock. MAKE SOMETHING TINY Optional Studio Unlock adds a native 16×16 editor inside Messages. Start with a blank grid or make one of 45 tiny templates your own. Draw with pencil, eraser, and fill, use undo and redo, then insert your creation into the conversation or export a transparent PNG. KEEP YOUR LITTLE IDEAS Save multiple named drafts, reopen them later, and duplicate a favorite starting point. Drawings save on this device as you edit. Export anything you want to keep before deleting the app; restoring a purchase restores the tools, not deleted artwork or drawings on another device. ONE UNLOCK. YOUR WHOLE STUDIO. Studio Unlock is an optional, permanent one-time In-App Purchase. No subscription and no charge per drawing or sticker sent. The USA price is US$1.00; other storefronts show Apple's localized price before purchase. Restore Purchases is available under Help. The included sticker collection remains available without buying Studio. MADE FOR MESSAGES Open a conversation in Messages, tap + (or the Apps button on older versions), and choose 8 bit art. Look under More if needed. This app lives inside Messages and has no separate home-screen editor. Tap an included sticker to insert it, or touch and hold to place it on a message or photo where supported. You decide when to tap Send. No app-specific account, advertising, tracking, or developer analytics. Included stickers and saved drawings work on your device; initial purchase and purchase restoration require Apple's services. Requires iOS or iPadOS 15 or later. Support: seltzer.wisdom7h@icloud.com.
