Pixelmash is a lightweight and full-featured sprite editor that receives regular updates, enhancing its capabilities and user experience.
The dynamic resolution feature allows for high-detail work without losing quality when scaling down, making it easier to create pixel art and animations.
The object-based editing system simplifies the animation process, enabling users to create complex sprites quickly and intuitively.

Users have reported frequent crashes and bugs, particularly when working with multiple layers, leading to frustration and loss of progress.
Community support is limited, with many users feeling that the developers are unresponsive to feedback and concerns about the software's functionality.
