A full creative toolset

From the first pixel to a finished, exported PNG: it's all here.

Drawing tools

Pencil and eraser with adjustable brush size (1-32px), flood-fill bucket, and an eyedropper to grab colours straight off the canvas.

Shapes & lines

Pixel-perfect lines, rectangles and ellipses: each available as outline or filled. Great for hard-edged geometry and clean tiles.

Layers

Unlimited layers with live thumbnails, per-layer visibility and opacity, renaming, duplicate, merge-down, reorder and delete.

Curated palettes

Switch between hand-picked palettes: Eddy Default, Endesga 32, PICO-8 and Grayscale: or add your own colours to the active palette.

Selections & clipboard

Marquee select, magic-wand selection, copy/paste pixel regions, select-all and move: paste always lands on a fresh layer.

Mirror & symmetry

Draw symmetrically across horizontal, vertical or both axes at once: perfect for characters, faces and balanced designs.

Reference images

Load any picture as a non-editable guide layer you can move, resize and fade: trace or match proportions without it ever being exported.

Export & copy

Export crisp PNGs at 1×–16× scale with a live preview, or copy the image straight to your clipboard to paste anywhere.

Keyboard-first workflow

Every tool and action has a shortcut. Switch tools, resize brushes, mirror, undo, zoom and navigate without ever touching the mouse.

Portable .eddy projects

Save your entire project: canvas, layers, reference and palette: as a single portable .eddy file. Reopen it anywhere, anytime.

Autosave & sessions

Your work is continuously saved to your browser and restored when you return: close the tab by accident and nothing is lost.

Runs in the browser

Nothing to install and no account to create. It works on desktop and is tuned for touch on tablets: your art stays on your device.

Free & no watermarks

Completely free to use with no watermarks and no usage caps. Create as much art as you like and own everything you make.

Built for speed

A clean, distraction-free interface that gets out of your way.

Pixel-perfect rendering

A custom compositing engine alpha-blends your layers and scales the result with crisp edges, so every pixel stays razor-sharp at any zoom level.

Full undo history

Experiment freely with a generous undo/redo history: step back through your edits or jump forward again whenever you like.

Grid, zoom & pan

Toggle the alignment grid, zoom from 1× to 64×, fit-to-screen in one click, and pan smoothly by holding space or using the hand tool.

Left & right mouse buttons

Paint with your foreground colour on the left button and your background colour on the right, then swap them instantly with a single key.
