Parallixel â Parallax Scrolling Made Easy in Aseprite
Parallixel is an Aseprite extension that automates the creation of seamless parallax scrolling effects.
Originally inspired by Godotâs parallax system, it began as a personal tool to preview scrolling layers and mock up character movements directly inside Aseprite, without relying on external tools. Now, it's a full-featured extension that makes parallax animation fast, intuitive, and entirely engine-free.
Reminder: Processing larger images and/or higher frame count may take additional time.
⨠Features:
- đ Seamless parallax generation for sprites and animations
- đŊī¸ Works with static images or animated layers
- đ§ Supports 8-directional scrolling
- đ Compatible with isometric, 45°, and custom scroll angles
- âī¸ Auto-applies parallax to all layers with ease(You can customize the speed)
- đ¨ Multi-layer selection for independent or grouped scrolling
- đšī¸ Custom Cel Selection: Scroll only the cel(s) you select.
