A code-based pixel art editor where every pixel is written, not drawn
Product Overview
Newt is a revolutionary online pixel art editor that treats every pixel as code rather than raster data. Artists and developers create pixel art by writing code, making it easy to generate complex animations, apply transformations programmatically, and export clean SVG or code output. It bridges the gap between creative pixel art and software development, offering a unique approach for tech-savvy artists.
Best For
Developers and tech-oriented artists who want to create pixel art programmatically and export it as clean code for web projects
