About PixelCraft Bench
A small, focused workshop of free tools for people who make things one pixel at a time.
PixelCraft Bench started from a simple frustration: most pixel-art and retro game utilities are either buried in a bloated app, hidden behind a sign-up wall, or slap a watermark on your export. We wanted a place where you could open a tab, make the thing, and get on with your day.
What's on the bench
Every tool here runs entirely in your browser — there's no back end doing the work. That has two nice side effects: it's fast, and your images never leave your device. Right now the bench includes:
- Pixel Art Editor — draw sprites with pencil, fill, eyedropper and a custom palette.
- Palette Converter — crunch any image down to a clean, limited palette.
- Sprite Sheet Generator — pack animation frames into a sheet with JSON metadata.
- Pixel-Perfect Resizer — nearest-neighbor scaling that keeps every edge crisp.
- Palette Explorer — browse curated retro palettes and check contrast.
- Tile Map Generator — seeded procedural maps you can reroll and export.
Who it's for
Indie devs prototyping a Game Boy-style RPG, artists spriting texture packs, students learning color theory, and anyone who just likes doodling in a grid. If you make pixel art, this is for you.
How it stays free
The tools are and always will be free to use. To cover hosting we may show non-intrusive display advertising on some pages — no pop-ups, no forced redirects, nothing that gets between you and your work. See our Privacy Policy for details on how ads and analytics are handled.
