Hi folks. This has probably been asked a hundred times but is there any good pixel art software out there , downloadable , in the same style as the piq web page. By this i mean anything that has the grid option and the ability to draw “snaped” to that grid. I tried photoshop but wasnt what i was after. Any info would be helpfull
photoshop can snap to 1x1 grid also…
these are good too,

Ragepixel (free unity extension by keely) is great. If you prefer standalone programs, there is a half decent free one called GraphicsGale. There is a paid version, but the free one is likely all you need.
I know this isn’t pixel art but have you ever tried vector graphics? Seems to be the better option now days.
i’m sorry for the question, but can i place a post on this forum, i cant find the button, i only can sent messages? i want to start a post and not reply to something
Sorry, find it ![]()
There’s also this WIP one: PyxelEdit.
Consider GRAFX2 http://code.google.com/p/grafx2/ too. Interface might seems a little bit ‘unusual’ but after a while it becomes very handy.
It is free and available on a lot of platform (Win, MacOS and Linux is most obvious but there is more).
Give it a try!
