voidsprite – pixel art and game asset editor

voidsprite is a desktop pixel art editor. It combines pixel-oriented drawing with unusually broad support for formats associated with older games, image tools and modern asset pipelines.

The program is suited to working on sprite graphics that must be converted, edited or inspected across different formats.

Alongside conventional image editing, voidsprite includes specialist import facilities for retro game resources. Its optional networking components also support workflows that go beyond single-user image editing.

This is free and open source software.

Key Features

  • Draw and modify pixel art using a graphical canvas.
  • Use drawing tools and adjustable brush settings for small graphics.
  • Apply gradient brush effects.
  • Preview brush or pop-up changes before confirming an operation.
  • Import ordinary image formats including PNG, BMP and OpenRaster.
  • Export artwork as PNG, BMP and OpenRaster files.
  • Work with RPG Maker 2000/2003 XYZ graphics.
  • Import assets from formats associated with Cave Story.
  • Inspect supported console and older-game image resources.
  • Use specialist support for DDS, VTF and Wii TPL resources where enabled.
  • Export image data for C programs and Python arrays.
  • Create HTML output with image data embedded in the document.
  • Preview supported RPG Maker map resources.
  • Use optional network-canvas functionality when networking support is enabled.
