Pixelorama
Pixelorama is a pixel-art editor for creating sprites, tiles and frame-based animations. This page covers canvas rules, palette discipline, layer organization and export checks for crisp pixel output.
What Pixelorama provides
Pixelorama focuses on pixel-art canvases, sprite sheets, tiles and frame-based animation. Pixel work depends on intentional resolution and hard edges: scaling, interpolation and export settings can change the result even when the drawing itself is correct.
Canvas and asset discipline
Choose the target sprite or tile size first, keep palette and layer names consistent and separate animation frames from reference layers. Export a small test asset, inspect it at 1:1 and in the target engine or viewer before producing a larger sheet.

Pixelorama sprite workflow guide
Create a small canvas with a fixed palette, draw one sprite or tile, test frame timing and export it at native pixels before scaling the project.
Before you start
- Define the target canvas size, palette limit and export format.
- Prepare reference images or a small set of animation poses.
- Know which engine or viewer will consume the sprite or tile.
Installation steps
- 01
Set the pixel canvas
Create the target canvas, choose a hard-edged drawing mode and confirm that grid, zoom and interpolation settings preserve individual pixels.
- 02
Organize layers and frames
Name sketch, color and reference layers, then add a few frames or tiles and check that visibility and ordering match the intended asset.
- 03
Export a native-size test
Export one sprite or short animation, open it in the target viewer at 1:1 and verify transparency, palette, frame order and edge sharpness.
Quick start
- 01
Keep palette decisions explicit
Save a small palette and reuse its roles for outline, shadow and highlight so a sprite set remains visually coherent.
- 02
Check animation timing
Test a short loop, inspect held frames and confirm that the exported timing matches the viewer or engine rather than only the editor preview.
- 03
Avoid accidental smoothing
Disable interpolation during scaling, keep nearest-neighbor assumptions documented and inspect the exported file after every size conversion.
Usage tips
- Separate references from export layers so guide pixels never enter a final sprite.
- Use meaningful frame and layer names when an asset will be revisited months later.
- Export a test before batch-exporting a full sprite sheet or animation set.
Troubleshooting and uninstall
Why do pixels look blurry after export?
Check scaling interpolation, viewer zoom and export size, then reopen a native-size file with smoothing disabled before changing the artwork.
Why is an animation loop out of order?
Inspect frame order, duration and export naming, then compare a short test loop in the target viewer with the editor timeline.
- Archive source and palettesSave the project, palettes, references and accepted exports, and remove private notes from any shareable asset archive.
- Remove PixeloramaUninstall Pixelorama through the operating system and clear caches only after confirming that the project files open from the archive.
Frequently asked questions
Is Pixelorama only for static sprites?
No. It can organize frame-based animation and tile work as well as static pixel art, with export behavior depending on the target format.
Why should artwork be checked at 1:1 size?
A zoomed or smoothed preview can hide edge and palette problems. Native-size inspection shows what the target viewer is likely to display.
Does the download require an extraction code?
The Quark entry does not require one; the four-character code for the Baidu entry is shown beside its download entry.
