Retro Pixel Studio is a browser-based pixel art editor. Click a tool on the left, pick colors, and draw on the canvas. Use the layers panel on the right to organize your work. Save your project with Ctrl+S or export as PNG/JPG/WEBP.

Left click = foreground (FG) color, right click = background (BG) color. Press X to swap. Click a swatch to change the active color, or use the color picker for custom colors.

Everything you draw lives on a layer. Add, delete, duplicate, reorder, merge up/down, and rename (double-click the name). Shift-click or Ctrl-click layer rows to select multiple at once. Use the eye icon to toggle visibility. The slider sets layer opacity.

Flip horizontally/vertically or rotate 90° left/right. Applies to your current selection if there is one, otherwise the whole active layer.

Grid overlays pixel lines so you can see what you're doing at large zoom. Glyph Grid splits the canvas into 16×16 cells for making Minecraft font sheets — enable it to show a red grid overlay and unlock the Glyph Align tool. Transparency enables transparent PNG exports.

Click the green box icon in the header to browse Minecraft item textures. Choose Template to open it as a tracing reference at 30% opacity, or Stamp to place the actual pixels on your active layer.

Ctrl+S or the floppy icon saves your full project (all layers) as a .pxl file you can reopen later. The download icon exports a flattened PNG, JPG, or WEBP. Import PNGs as new layers using the upload icon.
