Pixel animation maker

Up to 32 frames on one canvas size. Drawing stays on your device; drafts save in this browser (IndexedDB).

GIF and sprite sheets are encoded locally. AI command (optional) can paste one frame or a full frames[] animation; starters are original short loops you can edit.

Frequently asked questions

How do I start from a still drawing?

In Pixel Art Maker press Make animation. Your drawing becomes frame 1 here.

Does animation upload anything?

No. Frames, GIF and sprite sheets stay on your device.

What is onion skin?

A faded view of the previous frame so you can align the next pose. It is not saved into the current frame.

Can I change the playback speed?

Yes. Use the FPS slider (about 1–24). The preview and the exported GIF use the same speed.

Do frames have to be the same size?

Yes. All frames share one canvas width and height for that project. Start from Pixel Art Maker or a blank frame at the size you want.

How many frames and what can I download?

Up to 32 frames. Download a looping GIF or a horizontal or grid sprite-sheet PNG; encoding stays on your device.
