Vapor Pixel
A free pixel art editor in the browser, with animation, GIF export and a library of free sprites.
Concept
Vapor Pixel is a pixel art editor that runs in the browser, with no account. The canvas can be any size from 8 by 8 to 512 by 512 pixels.
It has layers, an animation timeline that exports GIFs, retro color palettes and a reference panel for sprites. It opens and saves Aseprite files, the format of the most used desktop pixel art editor.
It has no AI features. It is free, with a button to buy me a coffee.
