About the Game

Edge3 is a pixel art editor featuring powerful palette management and animation tools.

It supports both part-based animation and traditional frame-by-frame animation, allowing you to create game-ready sprites and pixel art with flexibility.

Animation

  • Create part-based animations by assembling individual sprite parts

  • Create traditional frame-by-frame animations

  • Switch between part-based and frame-based workflows depending on your needs

  • Use onion skinning to reference previous and next frames while editing

  • Organize and switch between multiple motions (e.g. walk, attack)

Drawing & Editing

  • Pen, eraser, text, Bézier, and various drawing and selection tools

  • Right-click to quickly pick colors (eyedropper)

  • Right-drag to stamp and duplicate instantly

  • Use Ctrl+click to fill and Shift+click to draw straight lines with the pen tool, reducing the need to switch tools while drawing

  • Real-time transform of selections (move, scale, rotate)

Color & Palette

  • Supports indexed color (with alpha) and RGBA color modes

  • Manage and switch between multiple palettes

  • Change colors per frame for advanced effects

Efficient Workflow

  • View the same file in multiple views simultaneously

  • Work with both zoomed-in and full views side by side

  • Flip and rotate the view to check visual balance

  • Detach views into separate windows for multi-monitor setups

Flexible Customization

  • Customize toolbars and keyboard shortcuts

  • Remap right-click and mouse wheel actions

  • Switch between tabbed and MDI layouts

  • Dock or float panels freely

Extensions (Optional)

  • A separately distributed optional tool is planned to enable thumbnail previews of Edge3 files in Windows Explorer

Note: Edge3 is based on Edge2, but its workflows and feature set have been redesigned.

          Some specifications and behaviors differ from Edge2.
