In their own words
PixelWall
PixelWall is a local pixel-art and animation studio by CapLock, available in a browser and as desktop downloads for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Its workspace combines drawing tools, layers and groups with animation clips, tilemap editing, 2D motion, scripts, and a command API. The browser editor needs no account and provides free editing and PNG exports. Projects stay on the user’s device; there is no cloud project sync. The Free studio plan costs nothing and includes drawing, animation, scripting, tilemap editing, frame exports in PNG, BMP, and TGA, and editable project files. PixelWall Pro costs $15, paid once and adds animated GIFs, sprite-sheet PNGs, sprite ZIPs with PNG and JSON, Tiled-compatible tilemap packages, and named export presets. Browser and command-line bundles require Node.js 22.13 or newer. A signed PW2 ownership license has no expiry and can unlock listed Pro features offline in a compatible app. Automation options include the CLI, browser command API, bounded Lua 5.4 scripts, JSON command batches, and deliberate computer control.
