About Pixel Maker
A pixel art editor built from the ground up specifically for Android and touch interfaces.
Note: this app is under active development. If you find a feature is missing, chances are it's coming soon. Contact support to help me prioritize important features first. Thanks!
Features:
- double-finger zoom
- double-finger pan/scroll
- pencil tool
- fill tool
- eraser tool
- eyedrop tool
- square and magic wand selection tools
- cut/copy/paste/invert and move selection
- color picker
- palette management (add/remove, move up/down, load)
- built-in palettes like DawnBringer's DB16 and DB32 and Arne's 8, 16 and 64 color palettes
- supporting .pal (JASC PAL) palette file format
- import palette from existing image
- single tap to toggle pixel color to fix mistakes
- unlimited undo/redo
- 18 color palette
- saving to SD card in PNG format
- grid that can be toggled on/off
- checkered background to show transparent pixels
- preview window with 1:1 and 2:1 modes
- color settings for image background, preview background and grid color
- settings for showing/hiding the preview window and the grid
This app also contains a lot of minor usability improvements:
- when using the pen or eraser, tapping again on a single pixel you've changed to undo it to its previous color
- when using the fill (bucket) tool, dragging will switch to pencil
- when the eraser is selected, changing color will switch to pencil
- when drawing using the pencil, the app will interpolate between tap event locations to draw an uninterrupted line
- tap anywhere outside of the selection to apply it
Feel free to email me if you can think of more usability changes to streamline your pixel art creation process.
Free version supports canvas sizes from 8x8 to 32x16 pixels.
PRO version only features:
- canvas size from 8 to 512 pixels wide or tall
- loading existing images from SD card
- changing alpha value and entering hex values for color picker
- saving palettes
This app uses icons from http://icons8.com/android-icons. Pixel art in screenshots are RPG icons from http://7soul1.deviantart.com/art/420-Pixel-Art-Icons-for-RPG-129892453.
Many thanks to Arne and DawnBringer for their awesome palettes!

The only pixelart editor on android that allows you to really edit your picture with pleasure and comfort. Great interface. Great usability. Five stars. If you guys implement animation editing, the quest of making the best pixel editor will be completed)

On the pictures the grid is really big but when I installed it, it had a tiny grid. Oh, and also it hurts my eyes and I go cross-eyed because of the grey and white pattern. Plz fix this.

I musr say, this is the best pixel art app i have EVER tried.. From the great interface to the pallet selection.. However.. having the "open image" option only in the Pro version is a pretty low blow. -_- It makes this version kinda.. incomplete..

As a veteran pixel artist, I feel it's necessary to have a line tool, an oval tool, and a rectangle tool. I work with 312px on my desktop and it's really hard to draw each 312x312 individual pixels by hand. Also, could you add the ability to color pixels within a selection. People that complain that the workspace is small, get a tablet; Don't even think of rating if you can't draw. Stop blaming the developers for giving you a FREE APP; Don't blame the pool for drowning a child.

The app needs a lot of work if ever wanting users to go pro. Right now the working space is too cluttered. Screen space is wasted. Maybe incorporate a drop down menu to hold the palette and other tools and a swipeable resolution scaler. The 'pinch to zoom' messes up things quite a bit, maybe a bar to zoom at the bottom that wouldn't interfere with the working space? Lastly, saved arts are rather distorted with the default size setting. I can barely make out most saved images. The overall look and feel of the app is rather flimsy and is definitely not worth more than two stars

Why do I have to buy pro to make a 64×32 image? Makes no sense! I am trying to make a picture that big and cant. I wish I could rate less. Horrible app. Can only let you make 32×16 images
