In their own words
Pixilart
Pixilart is an online drawing application and art community for making and sharing pixel art, including game sprites and icons. Its tools include layers, brushes, stamps, text, dithering, and Pixel Perfect; animation work can use frames, a timeline, and onion skinning. Canvases can be under 700 pixels, and downloads can be made at 1x or 50x, with options for layers, frames, or a complete GIF. Listed export formats include GIF, WebP, MP4, WebM, PNG, sprite sheets, and .pixil files. Pixilart runs in web browsers and offers Android and iOS apps. The free mobile app includes 15+ tools, filters, stamps, palettes, layers, frames, and animated GIF creation. Registered users can share art, collaborate, give feedback, and follow artists. Teacher accounts can manage student accounts, create virtual classrooms, customize settings, and assign tasks. Pixilart says drawings receive automated and manual review before public display. Users under 13 need parental or guardian consent and receive restricted accounts that block communication features; conversations are public and there is no private messaging. PRO costs $4.99/month after a 3-day free trial.
