BitRaster Pixel Studio

Download(Windows)Open BitRaster

Windows will warn you about this download

The installer is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen shows “Windows protected your PC” and reports an unknown publisher. That is what every unsigned installer looks like; it is not a finding about this particular file.

To continue, choose More info, then Run anyway.

A signing certificate is issued against a validated identity, and that validation is underway. Once it is in place Windows will name the publisher instead of refusing to, and the prompt fades as more people install.

Only ever download BitRaster from bit-raster.com.

>> What is a pixel editor

Pixel art is a digital art style where images are built pixel-by-pixel at low resolutions, resulting in clear shapes, sharp edges, and a retro aesthetic rooted in early video-game hardware limitations. Pixel art is one of the more accessible digital arts: easy to learn, difficult to master, and with infinitely many individual styles.

>> What makes BitRaster Different

Integrated Timelapse

A drawing of a character building up stroke by stroke, replayed as a timelapse

Every action you take is recorded into a timelapse you can export or share.

Sharing

The share panel, offering a drawing as a final image, a timelapse or an editable file

Every cloud document can be shared as a Final Image, a Timelapse, or a fully editable source file.

Collaborative Canvas

One canvas with two people drawing on it at once, a named cursor for each

Work on a document at the same time with your friends and colleagues.

Palette Reference Slots

An indexed palette whose slots point at other slots as well as at colors

Indexed Palette Slots can now point to both colors and other slots, allowing new techniques with palette management.

Healing Brush

An unwanted object brushed away and the pixels behind it filled in from its surroundings

Instantly remove unwanted objects and pixels with our content-aware healing brush.

Post-Processing Effects

A sprite lit by a movable light, its normals derived from the artwork itself

Push the boundary with effects such as normal maps and dynamic lighting.

Index Cycling

A drawing animating while its pixels hold still, as a range of palette slots rotates

A time-tested technique for cycling palette slots through a series of colors to create unique animations.

Cloud Storage

A document saved to the cloud and opened again on another machine

BitRaster documents can be stored on our cloud (free of charge) or kept local on your machine. Cloud documents can be shared.
