POWER-UPS FOR PIXEL ARTISTS

SPRITE FORGE

Draw 16×16 to 256×256 sprites on a grid that snaps every stroke. Onion-skin, mirror-X, and infinite undo keep every frame clean.

PALETTE VAULT

Bank every palette you love, import .hex and .pal files, and remap whole sheets in one click. Era-accurate color with zero drift.

BOSS EXPORT

Ship scaled sheets, atlases, tilemaps, and GIF previews from 1x to 16x. Clean PNGs drop into any engine — no cleanup, no quarters lost.

THE QUEST MAP

  1. LEVEL 1

    DRAW YOUR HERO

    Sketch a sprite on the grid with auto-snap and a full undo history at your back.

  2. LEVEL 2

    RIG THE PALETTE

    Lock four shades per tile, swap colorways instantly, and preview your art on a mock CRT.

  3. LEVEL 3

    SHIP THE BUILD

    Export atlases, tilemaps, and GIFs, then push straight to your repo or ROM project.

HIGH SCORE BOARD

"PIXELFORGE turned three weekends of sprite work into one afternoon. I remapped a 200-tile tavern set mid-jam and nothing broke."

MIRA T.@miratiles

"The 16-color lock is a genuine 1UP. My dungeon tiles finally look era-accurate, and the CRT preview catches clashes before my players do."

DEV DANNY@dannydraws

"Exported a 96-frame boss cycle straight into Godot. Zero cleanup, four hours left on the jam clock. New personal best: shipped."

CONTINUE? — QUESTIONS

DO I OWN THE SPRITES I MAKE?

Yes. Every pixel you draw is 100% yours, including commercial use in shipped games. We claim zero rights over your art, and your exports stay yours even if you cancel.

CAN I EXPORT NES-READY TILES?

On Arcade and Legend plans, yes — export 2bpp CHR tiles and nametables that drop straight into popular homebrew toolchains. Starter exports clean PNGs and GIFs.

HOW DO I CANCEL MY PLAN?

Press quit anytime from your account screen. Plans are month-to-month, cancel takes two clicks, and nothing you made gets deleted. CONTINUE? is always on the table.
