Pixelyph
Pixelyph is a free, browser-based pixel-art and pixel-font editor with a twist: instead of drawing on a raster grid like most pixel tools, every "pixel" is compiled into a real, optimized SVG shape under the hood. That means you can add gradients, strokes, and drop-shadow/glow effects directly to your pixel art, and your work scales infinitely with zero blur since it's true vector art. In addition to illustration and sprite animation, Pixelyph also has a full glyph mode for designing pixel fonts and icon sets, which compiles straight into real, installable font files (OTF/WOFF) or a ready-to-use icon-font CSS package.
AI Transparency: A core pillar of this project is demonstrating responsible, transparent, and disciplined agentic development. The concept, design, and specifications for the application are mine. The underlying algorithm that converts pixels to SVG shapes is my invention. I have used Claude Code to assist me in research and writing the implementation, tests, user manual, and documentation (which is extensive). I understand with any artist and art community there may be concern about generative AI and I want to be super transparent and mindful of that. I do not wish to kick off any debates about generative AI or agentic development, I just wish to be very transparent about my use of agentic development tooling.
