Frequently asked questions
How do I export my pixel art?
Choose an export scale (8×, 16×, 24×). The tool draws each cell as a block that size, so a 16×16 grid at 8× becomes a 128×128 PNG with sharp edges. Empty cells export as transparent.
Why export scaled up instead of stretching later?
Stretching a small image afterward usually blurs it with interpolation. Exporting scaled up draws each pixel as a solid block, preserving the crisp, blocky look that defines pixel art.
Can I use it on a phone or tablet?
Yes. The canvas responds to touch — tap and drag to paint. A larger screen is easier for detailed work, but it works on any device, and nothing is uploaded.
About this tool
The pixel art maker is a grid-based drawing tool for sprites and pixel art. Click or drag to paint, erase, or flood-fill cells with a color from the palette or a custom picker, on an 8×8 up to 32×32 canvas. Export at a scale factor so the hard pixel edges stay sharp — an 8× export turns a 16×16 sketch into a clean 128×128 PNG. Empty cells stay transparent, so your sprite drops onto any background. No account, no watermark — everything runs in your browser.
Like most tools on UtilityBase, the pixel art maker runs entirely in your browser — nothing you enter is uploaded or stored on a server. It's free to use with no account required. Browse more generators here.
