About Sprite Pencil
Pixel art, made simple and made to feel great.

• Full undo and redo
Color

• Building Bricks colors
• Import any palette from Lospec
Your Files, Your Way
• Sprites are plain PNG files, so any app can open them
• Edit images in place wherever they live, including iCloud Drive
• Share your art scaled up so it stays crisp
