PixelForge

Decoder and palette mapping tools for quick pixel workflows.

What it does

Here’s the problem with most pixel tools: • you upload → get output → done • no control after generation • no structure behind the result • no way to rebuild or tweak it later it’s a dead end. Pixel Forge turns images into a pixel system instead of just output. You can: • map to fixed palettes • apply dithering • control resolution • analyze palette usage But the interesting part: you can export the result as structured data. Not an image. Actual pixel data (JSON).

    Hi HN! I built a free pixel art editor that runs entirely in the browser — no install, no signup, no watermark. The frontend is open source (MIT): https://github.com/comficker/simplepixelart What it does: - Sprite editor with layers, selections, mirror drawing, and an infinite-canvas workspace (multiple boards on one desk) - Frame-by-frame animation with onion skin, per-frame duration, GIF and spritesheet export - Tileset builder that auto-generates Wang-16 and blob-47 terrain sets from a single base tile — exports Godot 4 TileSet, Tiled .tsx, or PNG+JSON — plus a tilemap…
