Is there a mobile application?
For smartphones, not at the moment, nor in the foreseeable future.
Reworking the user interface of Piskel to be usable on a small screen feels
like a new dedicated project on its own. Since Piskel is open source, anybody
is welcome to fork the project and try to port it to mobile however!
Piskel can be used on tablets however, so a mobile application dedicated to tablets
could be an option. Some user interface adjustments are still needed to improve the
experience, but that seems feasible.
Can I use a sprite made with Piskel in a commercial project?
Yes! Whatever you create with Piskel is yours. We do not hold any rights
on user creations made on piskelapp.com or with the offline Piskel editors.
Why do you have ads?
We are not big fans of ads either, but running piskelapp.com has a cost and if we want to keep
the service alive, it needs to be sustainable. The ads are here to cover the server costs,
performing costly backups and maybe buy some testing hardware. In the long run, we hope
ads will allow us to spend more time and resources on Piskel than we do at the moment.
With that said, we don't plan to add banners on the editor's interface. We believe the editor
should remain a safe zone where you can focus on your creation.
Do you have a privacy policy?
We are working on both a Privacy Policy and a Terms and Conditions page.
The short version is:
We are not keeping any user information other than the one displayed on the user pages,
we don't share this information with 3rd parties, we don't hold any copyright on the user creations.
We offer private and public settings for all user creations, to be used at the user's discretion.
We use cookies, we collect anonymous usage data for analytics. We are not responsible for the content
created by users but encourage our users to keep their public content safe for all ages. We are not
responsible for the content of any of the external websites linked on piskelapp.com.

If this didn't work, you need to go back to your previously saved version.
Piskel was made to create small sprites. If you see the performance
warning while working on your sprite, remember to save your work often.
