Pixel and vector tools on the same canvas. No mode switching — pick the right tool for the job and they coexist on any layer.

• Pencil and eraser with pixel-perfect stroke mode
• Pen tool with bezier curves for vector paths
• Shape tools — line, rectangle, ellipse (pixel or vector)
• Brush tool, fill bucket, gradient, color replace
• Text tool with full formatting
• Retro color palettes — PICO-8, GameBoy, NES, and custom
• Symmetry and tiling modes for seamless patterns
• Smart guides and sub-pixel vector positioning
• Lasso and rectangle selection with move, scale, rotate
• Clipping masks — vector shapes clip pixel artwork
• Document bounds overlay for pasteboard visibility
• Advanced stroke options — tapered ends, dash patterns, cap/join styles
• Built-in icon library — 50+ drag-and-drop vector icons for design work

Build animated characters without traditional skeletal rigging. Convert any object into a symbol with its own internal timeline — each keyframe is a drawing. Parent objects for hierarchical rigs.

• Convert objects to symbols with internal drawing timelines
• One track per symbol — each keyframe is a drawing (like Adobe Animate)
• Parent/child hierarchy with full transform inheritance (rotation, scale, skew)
• Ctrl+G to cut pixel selections into animatable objects
• Drag-to-parent in the timeline for quick hierarchy setup
• Filtered hierarchy timeline — double-click a parent to see only its children
• Pivot-stable tweening — feet stay planted during squash and stretch
• Per-instance playback — loop, play once, or hold a single frame
• Drawing library with thumbnails for quick visual reference
• Combine with keyframe tweens for hybrid puppet/tweened motion

Full keyframe animation with a visual timeline. Position, rotation, scale, and opacity are all keyframeable per object.

• Keyframes with tweens — linear, ease-in, ease-out, ease-in-out
• Motion paths for smooth arc movement
• Draggable keyframes and drawing keyframes on the timeline
• Audio track support (WAV)
• Animatic import for video reference overlay
• Onion skinning for frame-by-frame work
• Design and animation layout modes

---

• Static — PNG, JPEG, WebP, TIFF, SVG, PDF
• Animated — GIF, MP4, WebP, APNG
• Spritesheets — horizontal, vertical, or grid layout
• PNG sequence for frame-by-frame export
• ORA (OpenRaster) for compatibility

Pixel Painter Pro is in early alpha. The unified pixel/vector canvas, selection tools, clipping masks, symbol timeline, character rigging with full transform inheritance, stroke options, and built-in icon library are all functional. Performance optimized with dirty rect rendering for large canvases.

This is an early alpha release. Expect bugs and missing features. Feedback welcome at [email protected].
