LibreSprite is a free, open-source animated sprite editor and pixel art tool, forked from the last GPLv2 commit of Aseprite. It supports layers, frames, onion skinning, real-time animation previews, tiled drawing, and multiple sprite editing across Linux, macOS, Windows, and Android.

Use cases

• create pixel art sprites for games
• animate sprites with onion skinning
• draw tiled patterns and textures
• edit multiple sprites at once
• free alternative to Aseprite
• export sprite animations to different file formats
• make game character sprite sheets

When to choose

• you need a fully free, open-source pixel art and sprite animation editor
• you want a GPLv2 alternative to Aseprite without a paid license
• you work across Linux, macOS, Windows, or Android
• you need onion skinning, layers, frames, and tiled drawing for game assets

When to avoid

• you want the latest Aseprite features and active upstream development
• you need advanced modern pixel-art tooling beyond the 2016 GPLv2 feature set
• you require commercial support or proprietary-format compatibility
