Three studios. One place to create.
Minecraft skins, pixel art and paint-by-numbers.
Design a character, animate pixels or turn a photo into a numbered painting. Work in your browser without an account or installation.

Your work stays on your device
The editors process selected images locally. Projects can be restored in this browser; exported files provide a separate backup that you keep yourself.
Processing and saving →Learn the techniques
From texture layout to animation timing: six guides explain the decisions you make inside an editor.
- Minecraft skin UV map and body-part layout
Read a skin texture as six faces per body part, locate front faces and avoid seams when drawing.
- Minecraft base layer vs outer layer
Plan clothing, hair and transparent details across the base texture and raised outer skin layer.
- Classic/Steve vs Slim/Alex skins
Understand the arm-width and UV differences, choose the right model and check your exported skin.
- How frame-based pixel animation works
Build motion from frames, durations and layers; use onion skin and export a spritesheet with deliberate timing.
- Pixel-art palettes, color reduction and dithering
Choose readable color ramps, understand quantization and decide when dithering helps or adds unwanted noise.
- From photo to pixel paint-by-numbers
Choose a source, balance grid detail and palette size, then prepare a readable numbered painting and usable exports.
