You use Figma for all your design work. Then a project needs pixel art: a Gather Town map, a game asset, sprites, or just any other kind. Your components, design system, design assets: all stranded. Aseprite can't import them. You either trace every node by hand for days, or start over in a new tool. Figma has no answer. It is built for smooth edges, not pixel grid boundaries. Or is it? Vector Pixel Art changes this. Design as usual. Choose Grid Size. Convert. Pixel art in seconds.
I built this all because all my design tokens, components, and the whole design system were in Figma. We had to develop maps for gather.town and workadventu.re. Either we were stuck with their predesigned maps or our maps were of poor quality, which just really ruined the experience for everyone, if we have to be honest about it. I knew there had to be a better way than having to shift entire systems to other pixel native options like Asperite. Hence, designed this so that no matter the object, sprite sheet, or even the entire map, I can just design the entire thing in figma.com and when it's time to export, just convert it in a few seconds (instead of days).
Finally tried this on a messy Gather Town map and the grid conversion actually respected my layer order, which I did not expect. Would be nice to tweak the palette per layer but for a few seconds of work it already saved me an afternoon.
How does the conversion handle things like anti-aliased edges or smooth gradients from Figma, do those get quantised cleanly to the chosen grid size or end up messy?
