Change One Thing Without Breaking the Rest
Character, background, props and effects each live on their own layer, so reworking the sky at frame 40 never costs you the sprite standing in front of it.
Desktop Pixel Editor for Windows
Pixel Art. Animation. Sound. One Workspace.
Draw pixel-perfect sprites, animate them frame by frame with onion skinning, time the motion against real audio, and export game-ready assets — without leaving the editor or paying anyone monthly.

Every sprite in this clip was drawn and exported with Talixel.
Built Around How Animation Actually Gets Made
Draw, organise, time and trim in one place — including the part almost no pixel editor handles, which is making motion line up with sound.
Readable at 2am and at Noon
A dark studio interface for long sessions and a light one for bright rooms. Colours read honestly in both, so what you draw at night still looks right in the morning.
Land Your Animation on the Beat
Drop a track straight into the timeline and place keyframes against the sound itself — instead of counting frames, exporting, watching it miss, and starting over.
Use Only the Seconds You Need
Trim a song down to the exact passage you are animating to before it ever reaches your timeline, so you are not scrubbing past three minutes of intro every take.
See Where Your Motion Is Going
Onion skin draws the frames around the one you're editing, so spacing and arcs stay readable while you draw instead of only after you hit play.
- Red is where the sprite has been — the frames before this one.
- Blue is where it's heading — the frames after.
Choose how many frames to show on each side and how strongly they tint. Ghosts fade the further out they sit, so the nearest frame always reads clearest.

FAQ
Is Talixel a subscription?
No. Talixel is sold as a one-time purchase with a perpetual license.
Can I use Talixel offline?
Yes. Talixel is a desktop app with full local file workflows and offline editing.
What can I export?
PNG, animated GIF, sprite sheets with metadata, and video — including any audio you've imported for timing.
Which platforms are supported?
Talixel currently runs on Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit). macOS and Linux versions aren't available yet.
How many computers can I use it on?
Two at a time. If you get a new machine, remove the old one from your account page and the slot frees up immediately — no need to contact support.
Do I need an account?
Yes — your license key lives in your account, so you can always find it again and manage your devices. The app itself only needs the key, and works offline once activated.
Is there a free trial?
Not yet — Talixel is a one-time purchase with no trial build today. What we offer instead is a 30-day refund window: buy it, use it properly, and if it is not the tool you wanted, email support@talixel.com and we refund you.
Windows says it doesn’t recognise the publisher. Is that safe?
That warning appears because Talixel does not carry a paid Windows publisher certificate yet, not because anything was found in the file. Every new independent app sees it. We wrote a short page showing the exact screens and what to click, including how to verify the installer’s checksum if you would like to check it yourself.
How do I get updates?
Automatically. Talixel checks for new versions in the background, downloads them quietly, and installs the next time you close the app. You never reinstall from the website or re-enter your key.
How quickly can I get support?
Support requests are typically answered within 24 to 48 business hours.
