What it does

Pyxel Edit is a pixel art drawing application specially designed for working with tiles. Place tiles to form a level, edit them directly to see how they all work together, then export your tileset and the level data, and load it into your game. It also supports making animations,

Pyxel Edit is a pixel art editor designed to make it fun and easy to make tilesets, levels and animations. Runs on Windows and Mac.

Pyxel Edit is built around tiles: draw in one tile and every copy of it updates instantly, so you can sketch a whole level mock-up and polish the tileset in place. Tile instances can be rotated and flipped while still referencing the same tile data, and the tilemap exports to XML, JSON or plain text for quick game prototyping. It also does frame-by-frame animation with onion skinning, exports sprite sheets and animated GIFs, and can import existing tileset images or mock-ups and identify all the unique tiles automatically.
