I’ve been using Pixelorama for pixel art creation and editing, and it’s definitely one of the more intuitive tools I’ve tried. The clean and easy‑to‑understand interface never gets in the way. Thoughtfully designed, it was incredibly helpful for someone like me who hadn’t done digital drawing on a PC in over a decade. The hover‑to‑see keyboard shortcuts really helped me get back into the rhythm.
What I appreciate most is how simple and uncluttered everything feels without losing functionality. All the essential tools are right where you expect them, and nothing is buried behind confusing menus. It’s only when you switch to other art programs and go hunting for a basic feature that you realise how polished and well‑designed Pixelorama really is.
It does exactly what you need for pixel art: no distractions, no bloat, just a smooth, focused workflow. And since it’s open‑source, it’s actively improved and fully editable for anyone who wants to dig deeper.
A great choice if you want a lightweight, approachable, and thoughtfully designed pixel art editor.
