Pixel Pak
The pixel art editor in your pocket. Free to start
Pixel Pak is a pixel art editor built for touch, so drawing on a phone or tablet feels natural. It works on PC too. Layers and effects, animation, normal maps, hitboxes and game-ready exports. Swap a whole drawing to a retro palette like Game Boy or Master System, or to your own, with a before-and-after preview. Every layer and frame recolours at once, and one undo puts it back. Free to start, no account, and it works offline. Pro is a one-off £9.99.
Hi everyone, I’m Michael, a solo developer and pixel artist behind MI Pixel, a small UK studio. We’re also making a game called Little Devil.
I built Pixel Pak because I wanted a pixel art editor that feels right on a touch screen, not just on a desktop. You can draw on your phone or tablet, and it works on PC too.
What’s in it:
Layers, animation with onion skin, and a tile map tool
Swap palette: recolour a whole drawing into Game Boy, PICO-8, NES and more in one click (with the GB Studio palette)
Opens Aseprite and Pyxel Edit files
Normal map preview, shadows, glow and outline on their own layers, and hitboxes with a Unity helper script
It’s free to use: no account, works offline, up to 32 × 32 px with 2 layers and 4 frames. Pro is a one-off £9.99 (no subscription) and unlocks up to 512 × 512 px, 12 layers, 64 frames and the export tools.
I work a day job, so I’ll be replying to comments before work, at lunch and in the evening. I read everything, so please tell me what you’d want next. Thank you for taking a look!
