## What it is
PixelCraft is a browser-based pixel art editor built with JavaScript and the HTML5 Canvas API, installable as a progressive web app for offline use. It lets users draw on a customizable pixel grid, manage color palettes, and export artwork as PNG images or animated GIFs.

## Use cases
- draw pixel art in my browser
- create sprite graphics for my game
- make animated gifs from pixel art frames
- free online pixel art editor without installing software
- use an offline pixel editor as a pwa
- save and reuse custom color palettes for pixel art

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, installable pixel art tool that runs in any browser and works offline
- you need quick sprite or icon creation with GIF and PNG export for games
- you prefer simple grid-based drawing with palette management over heavyweight editors

## When to avoid
- you need professional raster editing features like layers, brushes, or advanced filters
- you require high-resolution digital painting or vector graphics rather than pixel-grid art
- you need collaborative or multi-user editing capabilities

- function: editor, image-processing
