## Description

Gribble is a pixel art editor for drawing and animating sprites, built around real layers, blend modes, and animation tools.

DRAWING
• Pixel-perfect brush, stroke stabilizer, dither brush, and a shading-ramp mode that shades along your palette instead of just lightening or darkening
• Lasso, magic wand, and rectangle selections with free-transform: scale, rotate, and skew while keeping pixel edges crisp
• Symmetry drawing, lock alpha, and palette lock (every stroke snaps to your active colors)
• Dithered gradient tool, bucket fill, outline, line and shape tools

LAYERS & ANIMATION
• Full layer stack with per-layer opacity and 15 blend modes (multiply, screen, overlay, dodge, burn, and more)
• Onion skin for frame-by-frame animation
• Frame tags: name a range of frames, set its loop direction (forward, reverse, ping-pong), and export just that tag
• Duplicated frames share pixels until edited, so long animations stay light

PALETTES & COLOR
• Build, import, and export palettes as .gpl, .json, or PNG
• Color harmony suggestions and color history

EXPORT
• PNG, GIF, code (JavaScript, CSS, HTML) and animated spritesheets
• 9-patch borders with live CSS, HTML, Vue, and React snippets you can paste straight into a project, plus optional PNG export
• Gribble project files for full editable backups

BUILT FOR TOUCH
• A dedicated offset drawing mode so your finger never covers the pixel you're placing - drag to move the cursor, tap to draw
• Full undo/redo, haptic feedback, and gestures tuned for phones and tablets

COMMUNITY
• Publish finished pieces to the public gallery
• Follow artists, like pieces, and fork ones the creator allows into your own project
• Reporting and blocking keep the gallery civil

Try it instantly as a guest, no account needed. Sign in anytime to sync your projects across devices and publish to the gallery.

GUILD MEMBERSHIP (OPTIONAL)
A one-time purchase, not a subscription. It raises your cloud project, layer, frame, and palette limits, and unlocks the custom theme builder. Every drawing tool, every export format, and the whole gallery are free either way.
