THE LITTLE DETAILS
A few questions.
Is my file uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser.
Which pixel size should I pick?
The default gives the long side about 64 pixels, a classic sprite size. A smaller pixel size keeps more detail.
Why can I not add an outline?
The outline follows see-through edges. Use a PNG, WebP or GIF with no background.
Does it work with GIFs and videos?
Yes. Every frame shares one palette, so colours do not flicker, and you get an 8-bit GIF.
Can I get a pixel art character of my own?
Yes. Masko Studio draws a new pixel art character from your picture for 1 credit, ready for stickers and animations.
