Pixaki 4 Pro

Can’t wait for updates. This app definitely has promise. Not perfect, but it’s seriously moving in the right direction. Think a lighter weight version of Aseprite, but on the iPad. Pixel freedom.

Software has continued to improve. Pixel perfect algo and preview window very welcome additions

Why did you change the animation into this key frame mess and it won’t import all the colour palettes as promised only gimp. For such an expensive app. I expected more. Dropped down to two stars because the key frame system now is just STUPID. GET THE OTHER APPS TO ANIMATE. CRAP UX NOW

I’m a professional pixel artist and swear by this app, it makes pixel art so much fun on the iPad! Highly recommend!!

Thank you devz

I doubt you'll find better on ipad. That said, I really wish a chromatic circle was available for color picking.

I love this app for making pixel art on iPad - for making sprites and pixel illustrations, it is vastly better than Procreate. I prefer using the Apple Pencil to draw so this was an easy purchase for me - if you prefer iPad to mouse/keyboard/tablet/etc or you just want to make pixel art on the go, this is probably the best app for iOS. The UI looks nice and the animation tools are simple and straightforward to use. I love the palettes feature - makes it very easy to import and export custom palettes and save them for future use. The dithering brushes are great, and game-changing for anyone who dithers by hand. With that said, those who have worked with other digital drawing programs (Procreate, Paint Tool SAI, Photoshop, CSP) will notice that Pixaki is lacking in certain tools for transforming your art. For example, there is no alpha lock or layer lock, and no way to make colour or value adjustments across an entire layer (or multiple) - Pixaki makes up for this by including a “Replace Colours” feature instead, but this is a very slow and clunky workaround. You cannot select or transform multiple layers, which I find very limiting. The colour picking tools are unintuitive but easy enough to get used to - I do wish there was a basic colour disk instead of the strange spectrum-wide horizontal slider. Also, right now there are some frustrating bugs with the selection tool that can easily overwrite your layers if you’re not careful. After using the app for about a month now, I would definitely recommend it for beginners, but my workflow is much slower than it would be if it had some of the basic tools found within pretty much every other digital art software out there. That’s just me though - if you like working with limited palettes and don’t need to do a lot of colour processing, this is great.

I’ve been using the app for a pretty long time now, and I was pleasantly surprised by the latest large update. So much more intuitive and great features. It was great before, It’s even better now! Definitely worth it.

I’m trying to create a gif slideshow from 16 screenshots but the app crashes. Is there a size limit that I should be aware of?

I really love this app!! I hope you continue to work and develop it, I would love to see Layer Modes added (multiply, soft light, overlay, etc) that would be freaking awesome. Overall the UI is super intuitive and easy to grasp. Amazing stuff
