Sprite Breakdown

Upload any pixel-art sprite and get a step-by-step drawing guide generated from the actual pixels. No AI, no uploads, no accounts — everything runs in your browser, and your art never leaves your device.

Features:

• Exact palette extraction with color roles (outline, fill, shade, highlight, accent)
• Step-by-step build-up: silhouette → fills → shading → highlights → outline → details, with an adjustable step count (2–24)
• Isolate any single step to see exactly what it adds
• Per-step pixel measurements in true sprite coordinates
• Template mode: each step in its own debug color, like a paint-by-numbers construction guide
• Palette export for Aseprite (.gpl)

Free forever. Made for game developers learning pixel art.
