PixiEditor is a free, open-source, cross-platform desktop 2D graphics editor built in C# with Avalonia. It combines pixel art, painting, and vector toolsets on one canvas, with a node graph system for procedural, non-destructive graphics and frame-by-frame animation.
Use cases
- create pixel art sprites for games
- make frame-by-frame animations
- draw vector logos and icons
- edit raster images
- create procedural art with a node graph
- paint digital artwork with custom brushes
- export sprites to png, gif, or mp4
When to choose
- you need a free, offline, open-source alternative to Aseprite or Photoshop for 2D work
- you want to mix pixel art, painting, and vector tools in one editor
- you want non-destructive, node-based procedural graphics or animations
- you need a cross-platform editor on Windows, Linux, and macOS
When to avoid
- you need professional photo retouching or print/CMyK workflows
- you require advanced vector features comparable to Illustrator or Inkscape
- you need a web-based or collaborative editor
- you rely on a large third-party plugin ecosystem (extensions are still in beta)
