Create pixel-perfect animations right on your phone. Draw frame by frame, preview with onion skinning, and export as GIF, MP4, sprite sheet, or PDF — fully offline, no account needed.

Whether you're crafting retro game sprites, designing 8-bit characters, or building flipbook loops — Pixel Art Animator gives you everything you need on your device.

▸ PIXEL-PERFECT DRAWING Draw on a precise pixel grid with 8 specialized tools: Pencil, Eraser, Flood Fill, Line, Rectangle, Circle, Eyedropper, and Move. Choose canvas sizes from 16×16 to 128×128 pixels (up to 256×256 on iPad).

▸ ONION SKINNING See the previous frame as a translucent overlay while you draw the next one. Adjust opacity from 5% to 50% — the classic technique for smooth, consistent motion.

▸ REFERENCE IMAGES Import a reference image and overlay it on your canvas. Pan, zoom, rotate, and adjust opacity — ideal for tracing, rotoscoping, or working from photo references.

▸ FRAME MANAGEMENT Add, duplicate, reorder, and clear frames with intuitive controls. Set individual background colors per frame from 16 presets — perfect for scene transitions.

▸ SMOOTH PLAYBACK Play your animation at adjustable frame rates from 1 to 30 FPS. Loop playback lets you preview your animation cycle continuously.

▸ EXPORT IN 5 FORMATS Export as animated GIF, MP4 video, single-frame PNG, sprite sheet, or multi-page PDF. Share directly to social media, messaging apps, or save to your photo library.

▸ MULTIPLE PROJECTS Create and manage unlimited animation projects. Each with its own canvas size, frame rate, and settings. Search and filter projects by name or canvas size.

▸ HOME SCREEN WIDGET Add a widget to your home screen showing your latest pixel animation at a glance.
