Pixel Art Maker: Draw Pixel Art and Sprites Online
Draw pixel art in your browser: pick a grid from 8 × 8 to 64 × 64, paint with a pencil, eraser, and fill bucket, mirror strokes for symmetrical sprites, keep your colours in a palette, trace a picture as a starting point, and download a PNG with sharp pixels at any size.
Pixel Art Maker: Draw Pixel Art and Sprites Online: Each square of the grid is one pixel of the finished picture. Strokes are joined with straight lines, so quick drags leave no gaps; the fill bucket colours the area of the same colour around the square you tap. Exports scale every pixel to a block of the size you choose, so a 16 × 16 drawing at 16× is a crisp 256 × 256 PNG with a transparent background. Runs 100% locally in your browser with zero server file uploads.

Runs entirely in your browser
Draw with the mouse, a pen, or a finger. The drawing is saved in this browser. Exports keep hard pixel edges at any scale, with a transparent background where nothing is drawn. Trace a picture shrinks an image onto the grid as a starting point.
Tips
Start with the outline in a dark colour, fill the shapes, then add one lighter and one darker shade for light and shadow; a small palette keeps sprites readable.

Frequently asked questions
What size should I start with?
16 × 16 is the classic size for icons and game items; 32 × 32 gives room for characters, and 64 × 64 for detailed scenes.
How do I keep pixels sharp when I enlarge the picture?
Use the export scale here rather than resizing afterwards; other programs may blur the pixels when they scale.
Can I continue later?
Yes: the drawing is kept in this browser until you clear it or start a new canvas.
