“It piqued interest in me to create sprites and that led me to create a very basic minimalistic sprite editor for pico8.”
Pixel Edit Lite
Pixel Edit Lite is a one-time-purchase ($2.99) iPhone sprite editor for PICO-8 with no account or subscription that works offline. It uses PICO-8's native clipboard format so users can copy a sprite from PICO-8 on the Mac, paste it on the phone, tweak pixels, and paste it back. The developer is reviving the app, fixing issues and adding small features suggested by PICO-8 users, and is considering frame-by-frame animation using sprite sheet regions and opening .p8 carts to edit sprites in place.
Problem: Wanted to draw and tweak PICO-8 sprites even when away from the Mac.
Audience: PICO-8 users who want to draw and tweak sprites on their iPhone

“I made a tiny iPhone sprite editor during Covid, when I was pretty obsessed with PICO-8 and wanted to draw sprites even when I was away from my Mac. I shipped it in 2023, then neglected it for a few years. I’m getting back into it now, fixing things as I find them and adding small features suggested by PICO-8 users. The original idea was simple: copy a sprite from PICO-8 on the Mac, paste it on your phone, tweak a few pixels, and paste it back. It uses PICO-8’s native clipboard format.”
