Pixed is a pixel art editor written using .NET and the Avalonia user interface framework. Its design places particular emphasis on a touch-friendly editing experience, although the software also works on conventional desktop systems.
The editor uses a native project format and can open project files created by certain other pixel-art applications. This makes it relevant to artists who need to inspect or continue work created using several different tools.
Pixed also supports image files and palette exchange formats. Animation and more advanced extensibility features are listed on the upstream roadmap, rather than being presented as existing production capabilities.
This is free and open source software.
