Pixaki is the best pixel art app for iPad. It packs a whole load of features into a clean, modern interface, and it works great with Apple Pencil. So now you can make game sprites on the couch, animated backgrounds on your commute, or music videos in the park. 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. • Import and export Aseprite documents (requires iPadOS 13 ore newer). • Import and export Photoshop documents (PSDs). • 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 QuickTime movies with H264 or HEVC codecs. • Export as a sprite sheet, with configurable columns.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: LineEase at $0.99 against Pixaki 4 Pro's $20.00. LineEase also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Pixaki 4 Pro's advantage is ratings volume (136 vs 6) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
