Pixel Motion Studio is a complete pixel art and animation suite. Draw sprites, rig and animate characters, build particle effects and full scenes, fix up palettes, then export to PNG, GIF, sprite sheets, and video. One app for the whole workflow, from first pixel to finished animation.

<h2 class="bb_tag" >Three programs in one</h2>Pixel for drawing, Motion for animation, Studio for full scenes, all sharing one project. Take a sprite from first pixel to a fully animated scene without leaving the app. <video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4896890/extras/e86cfec88e6edf042a8d026a2c765479.poster.avif?t=1783519949" width=298 height=148 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4896890/extras/e86cfec88e6edf042a8d026a2c765479.webm?t=1783519949" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4896890/extras/e86cfec88e6edf042a8d026a2c765479.mp4?t=1783519949" type="video/mp4"></video><ul class="bb_ul"><li>One project, any mode. Drag a tab to move your work from drawing to animation to scene, keep it linked so edits flow live, and bake it back to pixels anytime, by layer or flattened.</li><li>Smart rotations at last. SmartEdge rotates and scales sprites with sharp edges. No blur, no new colours.</li><li>Nothing is locked in. Add effects to any layer, then change or remove them later. Your original art is never touched.</li></ul><h2 class="bb_tag" >Pixel: a complete art editor</h2>Layers and groups, frame-by-frame animation, brushes with a stabiliser for steady lines, and click-an-object selection. Plus tools you won't find together anywhere else:<ul class="bb_ul"><li>Mesh warp. Drop a grid of handles over your sprite and drag to bend, stretch, and reshape it. Every tweak resamples the original, so the art never degrades.</li><li>Palette brush. Brush along a colour ramp from your palette to shade and highlight, stepping pixels lighter or darker while staying perfectly on-palette.</li><li>SmartEdge. Rotate, scale, and skew with edges that stay sharp, or switch to RotSprite mode for pure rotations. </li><li>Non-destructive Effects. Stack glow, outline, drop shadow, blur, tint and more on a layer, then reorder, mute, or retune them later. Your pixels stay untouched. </li></ul>Plus a slice blade, an alignment ruler, text, stamps, and a reveal eraser that shows the result BEFORE you use it. Don't forget about filters: undither, despeckle, sharpen, reduce noise, trace a clean outline, and lock art to a palette. <picture><source srcset="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4896890/extras/52e00c2a60499d6233717a07de136351.webp?t=1783519949"><img src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4896890/extras/52e00c2a60499d6233717a07de136351.poster.avif?t=1783519949" class="bb_img" width=216 height=82 /></picture><h2 class="bb_tag" >Motion: keyframe animation</h2>Built around keyframing. Rig a character, drop keyframes, and the in-between motion fills itself in. Generate walk and run cycles with a click, then refine by hand. Add particle effects from a real fire and fluid simulation, then bake it all back to clean pixel frames. <video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4896890/extras/accc1b3d0a742d45d69bc248a7cd59a4.poster.avif?t=1783519949" width=124 height=114 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4896890/extras/accc1b3d0a742d45d69bc248a7cd59a4.webm?t=1783519949" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4896890/extras/accc1b3d0a742d45d69bc248a7cd59a4.mp4?t=1783519949" type="video/mp4"></video><h2 class="bb_tag" >Studio: build whole scenes</h2>Assemble characters, effects, and backgrounds into full animated scenes.

Work across as many tracks as you like, with fades, EQ, reverb, echo, tempo changes, and more, each with a live preview. No second app to leave for.</li><li>Automatic lip-sync. Point a character at a voice track and its mouth follows the audio.</li><li>Set it up once. Assign your mouth shapes and the rig lip-syncs any audio you throw at it. One clip can drive a whole cast, and the preview matches the export.</li></ul><video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4896890/extras/f22cf5e6ffca3aa2f70478b169be481c.poster.avif?t=1783519949" width=180 height=106 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4896890/extras/f22cf5e6ffca3aa2f70478b169be481c.webm?t=1783519949" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4896890/extras/f22cf5e6ffca3aa2f70478b169be481c.mp4?t=1783519949" type="video/mp4"></video><h2 class="bb_tag" >Master your colours</h2>Reduce palettes with real control, break an image down colour by colour, and turn a painting or photo into clean pixel art.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Speed Drawing</h2>Turn any finished piece into a speed-draw video.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Create together, in real time</h2>Work on the same file at the same time, live. Everyone gets their own cursor, edits sync instantly, and layers can be locked so no one paints over anyone else. Real-time collaboration, finally for pixel art.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Export and run anywhere</h2> Import your existing work, including Aseprite files, and export to PNG, WebP, GIF, sprite sheets, WebM, and MP4.
