Mini Pixel

A free, browser-based pixel art editor and sprite animation maker — made by Time And Time Studio.

Mini Pixel is a lightweight online pixel art tool for drawing sprites, icons, game assets, and animated pixel art directly in your browser. There's nothing to install and nothing to sign up for — open it and start drawing. Everything you make is saved locally in your own browser, so your projects are private and available offline.

What can you do here?

• Draw & erase — Pencil, Eraser and Eyedropper tools with an adjustable 1–64px brush size, shared between pencil and eraser.
• Select & move — drag out a rectangular selection, then drag inside it to pick up and move those pixels around the canvas. Drag one of the small handles at its corners/edges to resize it (nearest-neighbor scaling); hold Ctrl while resizing to scale symmetrically around the selection's center — on touch devices, tap the Scale from center button that appears next to the Select tool to turn the same mode on or off. Delete clears the selection, Esc deselects.
• Pixel grid — a 1×1 grid overlay lines up exactly with the pixel buffer, and the cell under your cursor is always highlighted while you draw.
• Onion skinning — see a faded blue outline of the previous frame and orange outline of the next frame while you draw, so animated frames line up perfectly.
• Full color control — a color wheel with a brightness slider, plus a hex input for exact colors.
• Mirror / symmetry drawing — turn on Mirror X and/or Mirror Y to draw symmetrical sprites and patterns automatically.
• Undo & redo — full history so you can experiment freely.
• Resizable canvas — set any custom width and height for your sprite.
• Multi-frame animation — add, copy, and delete frames, then preview your animation at any FPS and export every frame at once. Perfect for game sprite sheets and animated pixel art.
• Import & export PNG — bring in an existing PNG to edit, or export your pixel art to a PNG file.
• Pan, zoom & rotate — on touch, pinch with two fingers to zoom/rotate and drag to pan; with a mouse, scroll the wheel to zoom, hold the middle button and drag to rotate, or hold the right button and drag to pan. You can also pick a preset zoom level from 1× up to 64×. One tap/click resets the view.
• Save multiple projects — name and save as many projects as you like; they're stored in your browser and reload instantly.
• Works with touch, mouse, or keyboard — a bottom toolbar puts the main drawing tools within thumb's reach on phones and tablets.
