What Is Pixel Art Maker?
Pixel Art Maker is a free, browser-based drawing tool that lets you create pixel art right in your browser. No downloads, no signups, no fees. Just pick a grid size, choose your colors, and start painting pixel by pixel. When you're done, download your artwork as a crisp, high-resolution PNG.
Whether you're designing game sprites, creating retro-style icons, or just having fun with pixels, this tool gives you everything you need: a curated color palette, multiple grid sizes, fill and eyedropper tools, undo history, and starter templates to get you going.
How It Works
- Choose your grid size — 8×8 for quick icons, 16×16 for sprites, or 32×32 for detailed art.
- Pick a color from the 24-color palette or use the custom color picker for any shade you need.
- Draw by clicking or dragging. Use the fill bucket for large areas, eraser to fix mistakes, and eyedropper to match existing colors.
- Download your finished pixel art as a PNG image, scaled up so it's crisp and ready to use.
Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best grid size for pixel art?
16×16 is ideal for beginners — it's small enough to be manageable but large enough for recognizable sprites and icons. 32×32 offers more detail for experienced artists, while 8×8 is great for quick mini icons.
Can I download my pixel art?
