8bit Painter - a pixel art editor

January 16, 2018 - Søren Alsbjerg Hørup

Making pixel art has never been a hobby of mine until I stumbled upon 8bit Painter for Android. This app is a bitmap editor with very few features and a lot of constraints - however, this also makes it easy to use on a handheld device such as my Galaxy S5 phone.

Features more or less are:

  • Gallery list with all images made in the app.
  • Grid with each cell representing a single pixel.
  • Pan and Zoom
  • Fixed canvas sizes from 16 x 16 to 128 x 128, nothing customization here.
  • Ereaser, Pen, Fill and Picker tools.
  • Colorpicker with presets, brightness and saturation support.
  • Export to e.g. Google drive

Its an awesome app to use when idling with ones phone, e.g. in a meeting without an interesting agenda :-)

Some stuff I made using the app:
