BravosGamebr Pixel Editor
A free, offline pixel art editor and character animation studio. Draw, animate, and organize multi-direction sprites — all in one focused studio.
Downloads are hosted on GitHub. No email, no signup — just click and go.
No installation wizard, no dependencies. Download, run, draw.
Click the download button for your OS above. Pick the latest release for your platform.
Double-click the .exe file. That's it — no install, no setup wizard, no admin rights needed.
Make the AppImage executable and run it. Two commands in a terminal, and you're done.
The editor opens with a blank canvas and a sample character. Pick a tool on the right, pick a color, and paint.
Eleven focused tools — each one designed for pixel-perfect work.
Paint pixels with 4 effects: Normal, Spray, Glow, and Texture. Size 1–16px.
Erase pixels back to transparent. Right-click with any tool to erase temporarily.
Flood-fill connected pixels of a similar color. Tolerance slider controls how picky it is.
Click a color to erase all connected pixels of that color. Fast cleanup.
Click any pixel to grab its color as your active color.
Drag to select a rectangular area. Paint tools stay inside that box.
Same as Rectangle, but selects an ellipse. Great for circular sprites.
Click points to draw a custom selection polygon. Click near the first point to close.
Place points, right-click to apply. 12 styles: smooth, dotted, dashed, zigzag, wavy, ribbon, and more.
Move the whole frame with the arrow keys. Shift+arrow moves 8 pixels at once.
Paint a free-form mask, then press R / G / S to transform only the masked area. Switching tools clears it automatically.
Stamp uppercase letters and numbers using a built-in 5×7 pixel font.
Select an area, then press R, G, or S. Move your mouse to transform. Left-click to apply, right-click or Esc to cancel. Switch between transforms at any time — they stack.
Spin the selection around its center
Move the selection freely
Shrink or expand from the center
Every direction (Front / Side / Back) has its own animation set (Idle / Walk / Still). Build frame by frame, then hit Play to preview the loop.
Just the ones that matter. Everything else is one click away.
