1 Bit Pixel
Pixel art & animation editor with a CRT soul — iPad & Mac
1 Bit Pixel is a full pixel art + animation studio for iPad and Mac, wrapped in a phosphor CRT terminal — it literally boots like a vintage computer. Layers, onion skin, tweening, tilesets with autotiling, Aseprite import/export, Lospec palettes, OKLab color ramps, radial symmetry, and deep Apple Pencil support (pressure, palm rejection, squeeze). Localized in 10 languages. $9.99 once — no subscription, no ads, no telemetry, no account.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Emir, a solo developer from Ankara, and 1 Bit Pixel is my love letter to the machines I grew up romanticizing.
It started as a strict 1-bit (black & white only) sprite editor — hence the name. Early testers loved the phosphor terminal aesthetic but wanted real color, so I rebuilt the core around full RGBA while keeping the CRT soul: the app literally boots like a vintage terminal, scanlines and all. Even the mascot gets drawn line-by-line on startup.
Under the retro shell it's a serious tool:
• Layers with opacity, locking & reference layers
• Frame-by-frame animation — onion skin, tweening, frame muting
• Tilesets with autotiling
• Aseprite (.aseprite) import & export — your existing work just opens
• Palette tools: Lospec import, retro presets (Game Boy, PICO-8, NES, CGA), OKLab color ramps
• Symmetry up to 24-fold radial (mandala mode is dangerously fun)
• Full Apple Pencil support: pressure, palm rejection, squeeze, hover preview
• Vim-style command mode, because of course there is one
• Localized in 10 languages
Business model is deliberately boring: $9.99 once. No subscription, no ads, no telemetry, no account.
I'd genuinely love your feedback — especially from anyone doing pixel art on iPad today. What's missing? What's annoying in your current tool? I read everything. 🙂
