Make Pixel Art That Looks Good Enough to Post

The gap between "I drew some squares" and "that belongs on my feed" is mostly color and presentation, so this editor handles both. Eight curated palettes keep every pixel you place in harmony, from moody Game Boy greens to sunset pop, and the share card export frames your finished piece on a matching 1080 x 1080 background with clean margins and an optional caption. Draw something small, post something beautiful.

The editor itself stays simple on purpose: pencil, eraser, fill bucket, eyedropper, and a mirror mode that paints both halves of the grid at once, which is the classic shortcut behind good-looking sprites. Ten starter templates (the heart, the ghost, the mushroom and friends) give you something to restyle on day one, a gallery keeps your work on your device, and undo forgives everything.

Common questions

How do I make pixel art online for free?

Pick a grid size, choose a palette, and start placing pixels with the pencil. The fill bucket colors whole regions at once, mirror mode keeps things symmetric, and undo fixes mistakes. If a blank grid feels intimidating, load a starter template and restyle it with a different palette; that is how most people learn.

How do I share my pixel art on social media?

Click Download share card. Your art is rendered large and crisp on a framed 1080 x 1080 square with a background generated from your own colors, an optional caption, and a clean margin, which is exactly the format Instagram and X want. On a phone, Save card to Photos puts it in your camera roll ready to post.

Why does my exported pixel art look sharp here but blurry elsewhere?

Exports here use nearest-neighbor scaling, so every pixel stays a hard-edged square even at 1024px. If another app blurs it, it is usually that app re-scaling the image; exporting at the larger size from here first prevents that in almost every case.

Can I use the transparent PNG as a sticker or game sprite?

Yes. Leave Transparent PNG checked and everything you did not paint exports as true transparency, which makes the file drop cleanly into chat stickers, video overlays, game engines, or the Meme Maker next door.

Is my drawing uploaded anywhere?

No. The editor, your gallery, and the exports all run entirely in your browser. Your art lives on your device and never touches a server, which also means the tool works offline once the page has loaded.
