Aseprite

The software is super user friendly. A quick tutorial, a bit of research on keyboard shortcuts, and I was on my way in no time. By far the best purchase I made in the past month. I'm loving this new hobby that I'm exploring, and hope I'll get to keep exploring it.

This the the best pixel art software in existence. It's an absolute joy to use, and it's saved me a ton of time when making assets for games.

Very nice pixel art editor, very good for making game sprites.

Used this to makes sprites for mods & games, works very well

The single best pixel art editor ever made. Tons of customisable settings. Efficient palette management system. Import/export supports all major file types and a bunch of obscure ones too. UI is clean and efficient and looks great. Nothing hidden behind additional paywalls.

10/10

Worth it, this sprite thingymajig is worth the 20$ price tag!!! you can do so much with it, its hard to figure out the tools but once you use it enough you understand how to use it, this is perfect for games and art!

Delightful and powerful pixel art software I keep using more and more there really isnt much else like it honestly and I really love it

I hate software on steam. No fault of the program, it's great. But MAN if you can just buy it from the site at www.aseprite.org, or consider the *free* fork LibreSprite which has a better license anyways.

Either way, this is a good program on a decent license.

very smooth and clean interface and one of the best tool for pixel art design, highly recommend for animating but for textile maybe Pyxel edit is better

TLDR: It's the best pixel art program and is well worth buying if you are in search of better art software

It's THE pixel art software. Aseprite is super easy to use and learn if you've used other similar programs like Krita or Photoshop before. Everything about it is tailored towards pixel art and animation, and it constantly receives updates and patches to improve the program. For a one time purchase of 20 usd, it's well worth it if you are jumping into pixel art, and want to be more efficient. 100% would recommend.

From the perspective of a game developer, Aseprite for pixel art is essential for a few reasons.

- It is lightweight and has almost no overhead, unlike full-featured programs like photoshop. You can switch between creating art and developing almost instantly.
- It is highly customizable, with extremely good hotkey options. Saves me a ton of time.
- It has incredible animation and layer systems.
- It has been around for a long time, so everything is well documented in any form you need to learn

If you are a game developer making pixel art, this program can save you hours every week if you customize it to your workflow. Absolutely worth every dollar!

This program is great for working with pixelized art, keeping track of the colors in the piece, easily allowing you to swap colors used for different colors, all with a pretty simple easy to understand system. It personally saved me a lot of time on a project of my own.

The best spriting software I've used. Sure, there are tons of free alternatives you can use to achieve the same results, but it's nice to have a tool specifically designed for drawing and animating sprites.

I think you can tell my opinion on this as an art tool by the amount of hours I have in the software. (It's pretty good, perhaps even the best pixel art software out there)

The best pixel art software i have ever used. So i needed to make pixelart for my 2D games that i made, but i really did not enjoy making pixelart. But after using Aseprite to make pixel art was really fun to do. It was also very fun to learn.

It has also many great tools, a very good UI and much more. So if you want to make pixelart and don't have a software or don't like the software you are using for making pixelart i would 100% recommend Aseprite. And yes it does cost some money but if you really don't know if it is worth it there is also a demo of Aseprite so you can try the software before buying it.

But other than that i highly recommend Aseprite!

It's very user-friendly, fun to mess around in, and is just altogether pretty great <3

worth the price if you want a very solid pixel art program.

This game is good. Although for some reason it's saying I can't play anymore, I don't know why.

The best pixel art tool ive ever used, very nice looking UI, and so many good tools that are so worth the money.

Super cute software to create your own pixel art. Everything works perfectly fine, it's easy to use, so it's a clear recommendation.

Positive:

- The entire layout is in pixel art, which looks nice.
- It's fun to create either small projects or go for a full animation—the choice is really yours.
- Controls are intuitive and well-explained, but if you'd like to customize them, you can adjust the controls in the settings.
- You can use predefined color palettes or upload your own by inserting pictures, which is really cool. You can even recreate a whole image in pixel art if you're up for it.
- You can insert reference pictures into your canvas.
- You can also adjust the size of your layout as much as you'd like, even after starting your project, to fit your needs.


Negative:

- None, I haven't encountered anything negative so far.

Just a very nice editing software that's worth the price (especially if you're a pixel artist) It also is very low end PC friendly

Bought it for fun to make sprite edit mods, made me fall in love with pixel art. Very user friendly and the price is unbeatable. Only thing I wish it had was a speed paint recording function like some drawing programs have. Love it!

Tried to start pixel art with a few different apps multiple times and failed hard.

Aseprite really makes it fun to learn the art. Easy to use, pretty self explanatory and smooth running workflows.

It's good. Like for real. Perfect for pixel art pictures and animation.

Super simple. Does exactly what you'd want for a pixel editor and nothing more.

One of the best sprite drawing/creating/animating software on the market.

Fantastic software, practically consider it a must-have for any and all 2D sprite, digital art, and animations.

Let me be clear. My only complaint is that I am not talented enough to fully enjoy this software.

For those of you with a smidgen of talent; you will not regret buying Aseprite.

This art software is useful making at making pixel art sprites for video games and art.

I guess it improves my pixel art skills to make good sprites and art.

Great product for a great price
I haven't used anything like it before, really, but this seems to do the trick
No annoying fees, just buy it once and you can use it indefinitely
Simple and easy to use, but not needlessly restricting

Wonderful Software

quite better than making pixel art in Paint.net.
this software could use some rotation on the sprite.
I love it. i recommend buying this if you are making a pixel game

Incredible, amazing, spectacular, and if you ever plan on making anything with pixel art this is a must have.

This is some great software to create some custom assets for your game, or to just have fun relax and enjoy making some pixel art gifs.

THE greatest and most versatile pixel art program I have ever had the pleasure of using. Aseprite my beloved

Having used the program for over one thousand hours, I can highly recommend Aseprite for all your pixel art needs. Its also got a super helpful community that makes plugins and stuff for it, even though the baseline functionality is top notch for sprite work. I mainly use it to make game sprites and some animations for people.

TLDR, Best PIXEL art tool

10/10 program for making pixel art. Very intuitive and easy to use while also providing more advanced features.

has absolutely everything you need to create pixel art. layers and animations. really enjoyed this tool.
used to have the free version way back but when i saw it was this bad ass i had to buy it and get everything it has to offer. 10/10 worth.

Absolutely amazing pixel art software. I'd definitely recommend watching a few tutorials to take full advantage of everything this app offers.

Great software to make pixel art in. I've been using it for a bit over a year now and I still am learning new things about the software's functions. I would recommend this software if you are wanting to make pixel art, if you have enough money that is.

I accidentally forget to close it most of the time. So thats like 60% of my playtime. But it's a fantastic program. Really great for getting into pixel art. Very user friendly.

Useful and robust tool, pretty inexpensive for all you get, and frequently goes on sale. Easy recommend for anyone with even a little interest in pixel art.

This isn’t just your average pixel art tool; it’s like the Swiss Army knife of digital creativity. You can whip up pixel art, customize images, animate them, and even process photos; basically, it does everything but cook your breakfast. It’s incredibly intuitive, so easy to use that even your cat could accidentally create a masterpiece while walking on your keyboard. Plus, it gets constant maintenance, which is great because nobody wants a tool that’s more outdated than your grandma’s flip phone. At its price, it’s practically a steal, seriously, if you’re not using it, you might as well be throwing money out the window!

Genuinely a top-tier pixel art program.
You will not regret getting this program, best $15 I have ever spent.
Everything about it is customizable and just works very smoothly with a drawing tablet.

Would recommend it always.

I have to admit, I was skeptical of the need for software specifically for pixel art at first when I already have access to a wide range other art and animation tools. Aseprite justifies itself among its competitors by being EXTREMELY good at what it does, though, with quick shortcuts and an easy interface for making the sorts of modifications that are nightmarish to try to do in more general-use programs like photoshop or procreate. I'm especially fond of the ability to work with a limited color palette and modify it seamlessly on the fly with only a few keystrokes. The interface for animation is also intuitive and easy to use - excellent for short loops like run and walk cycles.

Just buy it! If you ever thought of playing with pixel art this is a must have. You can use alternatives such as photoshop or microsoft paint, however the great thing about aseprite is that it's made from the ground up to support pixel art, it's main purpose is to make pixel art, and it really shows. Highly recommend if you want to make pixel art.

Pretty decent software, very useful for the few times I used it.
Sometimes doing large actions can lead to crashes and visual bugs even with decent hardware. But considering most pixel artists do work on a 16x16 canvas it should be fine.

Fantastic starter pixel art programme that has some relatively intuitive features for small-medium projects. Has some lag issues with larger art pieces, but I rarely need a canvas larger than 1000x1000 so it's not really noticeable unless you're creating MASSIVE art pieces with lots of colours and layers.

Fantastic piece of software for pixel art. I'm bad but at least I know that the shortcomings of my art are my fault and not my tools!

Não tem muito o que falar, no geral um ótimo programa para pixel art(seja com objetivo de ilustração ou de criação de sprites, tilesets etc). Diria que é melhor em comparação a programas como piskel, pixel studio e GrafX2 pelo simples fato de ter mais funcionalidades de qualidade de vida(ajustes que em teoria não são essenciais mas melhoram muito a experiência de uso), no geral vale o preço, mesmo que seja caro em alguns países como o Brasil.

Uma das melhores aplicações para desenvolver pixel art. E sim, é melhor do que o Photoshop. Apesar de cada ferramenta possuir recursos específicos, para quem inicia e até para profissionais com mais experiência, o Aseprite possui uma fluidez e curva de aprendizagem extremamente rápida de ser conquistada. Comprei para acompanhar um curso e estou sem dúvida alguma em completo êxtase.

6 hours well spent on making my own app icons to match a retro wallpaper. There's a bit of a learning curve, but once that's out of the way it's pretty easy to use. Also, it's really useful for increasing the resolution of images while keeping the edges sharp.
