help Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is PixelPad Pro a completely free online pixel art editor?
Yes! PixelPad Pro is 100% free. You don't need to download or install any software. The entire creation and animation process happens directly in your web browser, with no account required.
How do I create and export a Sprite Sheet for my game?
Just draw the frames of your animation on the bottom timeline. When you're done, click the "Export" button and choose "Sprite Sheet (PNG)". The tool will place all your frames side by side in a single image with a transparent background.
Are my pixel art drawings saved if I close the browser tab?
Yes. We use your browser's LocalStorage technology. This means your project (and layer history) is automatically saved in your machine's memory. If you close the page by accident, your drawing will be intact when you open it again.
Can I use the art generated here for commercial purposes?
Absolutely. Our tool is just the intermediary. You hold 100% of the copyrights to any art or animation generated through our platform, and you can sell them or use them in monetized games.
