Sprite Bite

Pixel & Motion Studio

Draw it. Shape it. Animate it.

Meet Sprite Bite, a standalone pixel-art and animation studio built for indie developers, pixel artists, and creators who want powerful tools without a complicated workflow.

Everything is designed around a hands-on creative workspace, with the controls you need close to your artwork.

🎞️ Bring Your Sprites to Life

Sprite Bite isn't just for drawing still images.

Use its built-in animation timeline to create frame-by-frame animations, manage sequences, and preview motion as you work.
