THE METHOD / 01
A clear wayfrom start to finish.
Each pixel stores a palette index; zero is transparent. Undo retains recent edits in the active page.
Keep the assumptions clear
Grid sizes 8–64 pixels per side. Resizing crops or pads every frame after confirmation.
A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS
Good to know.
Are my inputs uploaded?
No. Processing runs locally in your browser. The host still receives normal requests for website pages and assets.
Can I keep my result?
Use the download controls for the current tool or print from your browser. Your valid edits autosave in this browser. Export a JSON backup to move devices; see the privacy page.
Do I need an account?
No sign-up, paid API or subscription is required. Both languages use the same tools. English always opens at the root address.
