Our verdict on Spritelove

Spritelove is a touch-focused pixel art editor and sprite animation studio for iPhone and iPad. It is designed for artists and game developers creating frame-by-frame pixel animations, character sprites, and other game assets. Its toolkit includes pixel drawing tools, a multi-layer animation timeline, palette controls, asset stamps, automatic saving, and landscape editing mode. Bone rigging adds a skeletal-animation option alongside traditional frame-by-frame work, giving the app a focused place in an iOS game-art workflow.

Pricing is split between a limited Free Trial and the one-time Full Studio purchase. The Free Trial supports up to 3 layers, 6 animation frames, a 32×32 canvas, PNG export, 2 GIF exports, and 2 projects. At $9.99 one time, Full Studio adds unlimited layers and frames, unlimited canvas size, bone rigging, unlimited GIF export, spritesheet and JSON export, and Aseprite import and export. The paid tier also unlocks unlimited projects, making it the practical choice for ongoing animation work rather than brief evaluation.

Its strongest fit is an iOS-centered pipeline that connects pixel creation with game development tools. Spritelove exports PNG, animated GIF, spritesheets, JSON, Aseprite, and native project files, with integrations listed for Godot, Unity, Phaser, and Aseprite. Onion skinning includes tint and alpha controls, while rigging supports skeletal animation. Choose Spritelove if you want dedicated pixel-animation tools on an iPhone or iPad and need game-asset exports. Choose another option if you need video import, screen recording, or a platform beyond iOS.
