If you have a nostalgic weakness for old games and are planning to create your own games, or if you simply have the urge to create amazing pixel art, today is your lucky day. Because with GrafX2, the self-proclaimed definitive program for creating pixel art, you'll be able to unleash your imagination without restrictions.
A Long History in Pixels
Inspired by the programs Deluxe Paint and Brilliance for Amiga, GrafX2 is the definitive graphic editor for creating pixel art. This software has a long history, since the first versions were published in 1996. The development of the original team, Sunset Design, continued until the end of 1999, when they stopped working on it because nobody was interested in running a DOS drawing tool at that time.
Fortunately, the original team published the source code so that their work would not be lost. In 2007, PulkoMandy recovered the code and completely adapted the program to modern operating systems. This was the rebirth of GrafX2, which then had many improvements and adjustments, ended up standing out among the old-school style graphic editors. Specialized in 256-color drawing, the program includes a large number of tools and effects that make it especially suitable for creating pixel art, game graphics, and in general, everything your imagination could desire.
Old School Looks, Modern Features
GrafX2 flaunts a retro interface, remaining faithful to its legacy. But don't be fooled, it's a modern program that offers the same options as the competition, and some more: editing images in indexed colors, animations with multiple frames and GIF export, custom resolutions (including non-square pixels), palette manipulation (including color cycling), layers or transparency support, among many other things. GrafX2 is open source software that is available for free download on Haiku, Linux, Windows and Android devices, among others.
