Edge3

Edge3 is a pixel art editor featuring powerful palette management and animation tools.

It supports both part-based animation and traditional frame-by-frame animation, allowing you to create game-ready sprites and pixel art with flexibility.

Animation

• Create part-based animations by assembling individual sprite parts

• Create traditional frame-by-frame animations

• Switch between part-based and frame-based workflows depending on your needs

• Use onion skinning to reference previous and next frames while editing

• Organize and switch between multiple motions (e.g. walk, attack)

Drawing & Editing

• Pen, eraser, text, Bézier, and various drawing and selection tools

• Right-click to quickly pick colors (eyedropper)

• Right-drag to stamp and duplicate instantly

• Use Ctrl+click to fill and Shift+click to draw straight lines with the pen tool, reducing the need to switch tools while drawing

• Real-time transform of selections (move, scale, rotate)

Color & Palette

• Supports indexed color (with alpha) and RGBA color modes

• Manage and switch between multiple palettes

• Change colors per frame for advanced effects

Efficient Workflow

• View the same file in multiple views simultaneously

• Work with both zoomed-in and full views side by side

• Flip and rotate the view to check visual balance

• Detach views into separate windows for multi-monitor setups

Flexible Customization

• Customize toolbars and keyboard shortcuts

• Remap right-click and mouse wheel actions

• Switch between tabbed and MDI layouts

• Dock or float panels freely

Extensions (Optional)

• A separately distributed optional tool is planned to enable thumbnail previews of Edge3 files in Windows Explorer

Note: Edge3 is based on Edge2, but its workflows and feature set have been redesigned.

          Some specifications and behaviors differ from Edge2.
