Elevate your pixel art and game assets. Use our web-based editor to instantly recolor sprites, generate unique color schemes, and apply powerful visual effects—all in your browser, no code needed. Perfect for game jams and rapid prototyping.
Supercharge Your Creative Workflow
I designed PaletteSwap for artists and developers like myself who want to streamline their asset pipeline. Forget tedious manual edits. My platform serves as a powerful online utility for remapping color palettes on your artwork and applying dynamic shaders. Whether you're creating generative art or need the perfect look for your game's characters, my tool provides instant results, letting you focus more on creativity and less on the technical hurdles.
My All-in-One Toolkit for Game Artists
- 🎨 Frame-by-Frame Shader Animation: Create complex visual effects by adjusting shader settings for each frame of your sprite. Perfect for shimmering water, fire, magical glows, and other dynamic animations without redrawing by hand.
- 🎨 Quick Background Removal: Clean up your assets with my simple one-click background remover.
- 🎨 Built-in WebP Converter: I've included a tool to automatically optimize your images for the web, reducing file size while maintaining quality.
The Roadmap
I'm always working on new features. Next up, I'm planning to add a pixel-perfect drawing tool and a powerful normal map generator to help you create amazing 2D lighting effects for your sprites!
My Journey & A Special Offer for the Itch.io Community
The idea for PaletteSwap has been with me since early 2024, born from a set of personal scripts I built to speed up my own game development workflow. After countless hours of work, I'm incredibly proud to have shaped it into a polished application that I can now share with you.
My ultimate vision is to grow this tool into the ultimate pixel art assistant—a go-to resource for creating stunning effects, simplifying complex drawing tasks, and animating sprites with powerful, intuitive controls.
To make that happen, I've introduced a +pLus subscription, which gives you access to my entire library of hand-crafted palettes and over 15 advanced shaders, with many more features on the way.
You can try all +pLus features completely free for 7 days.
As a special thank you to the itch.io community for your support and feedback, I'm offering a yearly subscription at a 70% discount—just $9 for your first year. This support allows me to dedicate myself full-time to developing PaletteSwap and adding the features you want to see.
Want to Help Spread the Word?
If you believe in this project and want to help it reach more artists and developers, I'd be incredibly grateful if you'd mention PaletteSwap on your favorite gamedev forum, blog, or social media platform.
As a personal thank you for your support, I'll give you a promo code for one free month of +pLus.
How it works: Just send me a link to your post at msg.dom.cofdins@gmail.com, and I'll send back your code. This is for genuine mentions on relevant communities that help the project grow.
