GraphicsGale

Unlike other standard art programs, GraphicsGale is very focused on sprite creation and pixel art, and, as it is focused on it, does it very well. A lot of other art programs don't use layers, but you have to work ost other art programs, you have to work layer by layer - worse yet, format files manually rather than as files. It's not even possible to compile all of the animation within a few seconds and many don't use any animation software to look at it.Watching gif and viewing it over time can be tedious. GraphicsGale takes care of this and more, making spriting and pixel art a breeze! You can still do art with it while it's in development. Savings and tests are not needed - there will not be a repeat request. By skinning the previous frame overlay transparency transparently, the frame can be created while transparently interacting, it supports multiple file types for saving the entire animated sequence, and natively supports multiple image formats. Moreover, GraphicsGale is free and doesn't require registration in order to use it; thus, you don't have to worry about beginning your pixel art or sprite journey.
