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.
