Hi everyone!
As a game developer, I’ve often found existing pixel art tools either too limited or overly complicated with cluttered UIs and complex timelines when all you want to do is draw and animate quickly.
Inspired by the intuitive and fun feel of Mario Paint, I built my own editor called Ultra Pixel, and I’m making it 100% free for everyone, including commercial projects!
It runs directly in your browser with zero installation needed, making it super convenient to keep open right next to your Construct 3 tab.
Key Features:
- Zero Install & Web-Based: Open the link and start drawing immediately on any browser.
- Frames & Layers: Simple, clean animation timeline and layer management designed for zero friction.
- Custom Pixel-Art Brushes: Draw any shape directly in pixel art and turn it into a reusable brush on the fly.
- Stamp Tool: Quickly pick and stamp parts of existing artwork around your canvas (great for tilesets and environment detailing).
- Lospec Palette Integration: Import thousands of community-made color palettes directly, or generate new palettes automatically from your canvas colors.
- Color Wheel: Built-in color wheel to help with color harmony, hue shifting, and shading.
- 100% Free for Commercial Use: Use it for personal prototypes or full commercial C3 games without restrictions.
I built Ultra Pixel to solve my own workflow bottlenecks and help the indie community create assets faster.

The Ultra Pixel is only compatible with PC.
I’d love to hear your feedback, suggestions, or ideas for future updates! Hope it helps your game development workflow as much as it helped mine.
Happy game making!
