Pixel art studio.
In your pocket.
Draw, animate, rig, and export sprites — all from your iPad or iPhone. Layers, onion skin, bone rigging, and Aseprite support built in.
Why Spritelove?
"I just want to draw pixel art on my iPad without a desktop app"
"Why can't I rig sprites on mobile?"
"Exporting a GIF shouldn't take 12 steps"
"I need layers, onion skin, AND it needs to feel native"
A real studio.
Built for touch.
Spritelove is a full pixel art editor designed from the ground up for iOS. No compromises, no web wrappers — just fast, native tooling.
Canvas
13 tools. Every brush. Pure pixel control.
Pen, eraser, fill, line, shapes, move, rotate, mirror — with 1px and 3x3 brushes. Zoom from 0.5x to 30x and pan freely. Mirror painting on X, Y, or both for instant symmetry.
Layers & Animation
Multi-layer timeline with thumbnail preview
Add unlimited layers with visibility, lock, opacity, and drag-to-reorder. Manage frames with clone, clear, copy, paste, center, and fill-forward. Onion skin shows previous and next frames with tint and alpha control.
Colors
Three palettes. Hundreds of colors.
Switch between Palette A, B, C, and a grays palette. Pick any color with the eyedropper, track your recent history, and paint with transparent. Every color is just a tap away.
Power User
Context menus for everything
Long-press any frame or layer for instant actions: clone, clear, center, copy, paste, fill forward, rename, set opacity, reorder, or delete. The timeline is a full production workspace.
Export
PNG. Spritesheet. GIF. Aseprite.
Export single frames or full spritesheets as PNG at 1x, 5x, 10x, or 20x. Generate animated GIFs. Bundle spritesheets with JSON metadata. Export and import .ase files for Aseprite compatibility. Share native .spl project files.
Landscape
Full-screen editing in landscape mode
Rotate your device for a wider canvas, expanded layer tabs, and a horizontal timeline. The entire UI adapts to give you maximum drawing space.
Toolbar
13 tools. Zero compromise.
Every tool you need to create pixel art, all optimized for touch. Long-press tools with dots for brush options.
And so much more
