Nevercenter Pixelmash is a Windows pixel-art and animation editor for game developers, illustrators, and other digital artists. The application combines pixel painting with vector shapes and high-res layers that can be instantly pixelated and still be fully editable.
Pixelmash includes full keyframe animation with onion skinning, support for color palettes, layer effects, and more. Artists also interested in dedicated pixel-art tools could consider the powerful Aseprite pixel-art and sprite animation software.
