Simple Pixel Art Maker vs nemodot

Pixel art, made simple. Simple Pixel Art Maker is a clean, fast drawing studio for iPhone and iPad — designed for the way pixel art actually works: a precise grid, a tight set of tools, and colors that snap to curated palettes. Tap a square. Pick a color. Build a tiny world, one pixel at a time. EVERYTHING YOU NEED, NOTHING YOU DON'T • Pencil, Eraser and Fill — the three tools you actually use • Adjustable brush size from 1 to 8 pixels • Eyedropper to sample any pixel on the canvas • Pixel-perfect Line, Rectangle and Circle tools • Move tool to nudge layer pixels around • Unlimited Undo and Redo CANVAS SIZES FROM 8×8 TO 128×128 Pick a preset — 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 — or set a custom width and height up to 256 px. Lock the 1:1 aspect or go rectangular. Pixel grid lines and a checkerboard background are toggles, not requirements. LAYERS Build sky, mountains and the cactus on separate layers. Hide them, lock them, and reorder them as you sketch. The free version supports a comfortable starting stack; Pixel Pro unlocks unlimited layers for more ambitious scenes. CURATED COLOR PALETTES Swipe through Basics, Beach, Forest, Sunset, Retro and more — each carefully picked so your art looks intentional from the first pixel. Or use the eyedropper to grab any color already on the canvas. MIRROR MODE Horizontal, vertical, or both. Perfect for sprites, faces and symmetrical icons — every stroke mirrors instantly. EXPORT TO PHOTOS Save your art to the Photo Library as a PNG at 1×, 2×, 4× or 8× scale, with an optional transparent background. Your pixel art stays crisp at every size.
