FAQs

Is Pixelorama really free?

Yes. It is free and open source. The team accepts support from people who wish to give it, and paid store copies exist for those who prefer that route.

Can Pixelorama make animations, or only still art?

It does both. The timeline, layers and onion skinning are there for frame by frame animation, and you can export the result for use in games and other projects.
