Limitations

Pixen is an open-source graphics editor for Mac OS X specifically designed for pixel artists. To that end, it has a number of unique features, such as realtime tiled editing (for those pesky grass tiles), powerful palette control, an intuitive preview window, and so on. It was coded by the Open Sword Group: Joe Osborn, Ian Henderson, and myself.

Features:

  • Elegant layer support (the only pixel editor to my knowledge with this)
  • Realtime infinite tiled-image editing
  • Neurotic level of palette control
  • Animation tools
  • 12 tools
  • Around a dozen file formats supported
  • Define and draw with patterns
  • A cooperative and configurable preview window
  • Custom background configuration
  • Beautiful, intuitive interface
