About

From the App Store Source
Flash Pixel is a native pixel-art editor for Mac and iPad with a specialty: it reads and writes the classic icon formats of the Windows and Mac past. ■ A pixel art editor - Ten tools — pen, eraser, fill, eyedropper, line, rectangle, ellipse, rectangular select, lasso and magic wand — plus four adjustment pens that brighten, darken, fade or firm up the pixels you drag over - Layers with visibility, opacity and reordering - Animation: arrange frames on a timeline and export as GIF - Grid overlay (three line widths), checkerboard or solid background, transparent color - Smooth zooming with pinch and shortcuts ■ Palettes - Eleven built-in palettes: Crayons 48 (default), PICO-8, Game Boy-style, NES/Famicom, Mac 16/256, Windows 16/256, web-safe 216, 16 grays, black & white - Custom palettes, with GIMP (.gpl) and JASC (.pal) import and export - An "in use" palette that lists just the colors in your artwork ■ Classic icon formats - .ico (Windows icons): read and write, preserving resolutions and bit depths - .icl (Windows 3.x icon libraries): not just reading — Flash Pixel writes them too, keeping icon names and groups - .icns from old-generation variants through Retina (@2x), .cur editable with its hotspots, and .ani - Icon extraction from .dll / .exe, and Classic Mac resource forks (Mac only) - Plus PNG, GIF, BMP, WebP, XPM, Xcursor and APNG ■ Multi-resolution documents - Keep dedicated canvases for 16, 32, 48, 256 px and more in a single document - Exports prefer the dedicated canvas for each size, so small sizes stay hand-tuned ■ At home on Mac and iPad - A document-based native app with QuickLook previews and iCloud Drive support - On iPad, draw with Apple Pencil, pan and zoom with your fingers, and double-tap to swap pen and eraser ■ Respectful by design - Free. No ads, no account, no data collection - Documents live on your device or in your own iCloud Drive
