Slate
A downloadable tool for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Slate is a pixel art/bitmap editor available for Linux, Windows and Mac. Using slate, you can edit images directly, use layers and create seamless 2D tilesets for games. Slate was built for pixel art, and its goal is to simplify the creation of sprites and tilesets by offering a user-friendly, customisable interface.

cool tool, still working on it?
Yes, but only maintenance currently. :)
how export
Add the option to recolour the grid and I will immediately switch to this tool for my simple projects it has a simple hotkey reconfig and that is the main sell here that part needs to stay intact, This has the makings of a great program ! just keep it slim but add some QOL like grid colouring and resizing the canvas on the fly! Happy Programming!
Thanks for the feedback!
When you say grid, which parts do you want to change the colour of? Could you perhaps share an edited screenshot?
nice tool!
Thanks! Glad you like it. :)
I've tried it, and the UI is really clean! Would love to see more features and some quality of life changes :)
Still I don't understand how I should be able to insert a tile into the right side of the program like in the screenshot ._.
Thanks! Feel free to report suggestions on the GitHub page:

It's WIP but it should get you started.
