About Pixaki
Pixaki is the best pixel art app for iPad. It packs a whole load of features into a clean, modern interface, and it works great with Apple Pencil. So now you can make game sprites on the couch, animated backgrounds on your commute, or music videos in the park. Pixaki is packed with great tools dedicated to making pixel art. Drawing on the iPad with Apple Pencil feels smooth and natural. This is the most enjoyable way you can make pixel art. Turn on pixel perfect painting mode to automatically get rid off all those nasty double pixels when doing line art. This is going to save you a ton of time. As well as round and square brushes, Pixaki comes with the matrix dither brush with 13 different dither patterns. It works with the eraser too. The line tool makes it easy to create straight lines, which can optionally be locked to angles perfect for isometric art.

Picotap
Picotap is a pixel-art drawing and animation app for creating sprites, icons, and small graphics on iPhone, iPad, Android, and Mac. On touchscreens, users move a cursor from a trackpad-style swipe area below the canvas, keeping a finger from covering the pixel being edited; Mac users can draw with a mouse or trackpad. Tools include shapes, selection and transform controls, reference-image tracing, patterned fills, dither patterns, and palettes of 1 to 256 colors. Create animations with up to 64 frames, onion skinning, and eight layers, then export PNG images or GIF and APNG animations. The app includes autosave, backup and restore, nine drawing lessons on lines, shapes, and color, and a Daily Theme with a sketch to trace. It requires no account and supports 13 languages. Picotap is free with all features; an optional one-time purchase removes ads on supported mobile versions.
