Pixelorama README: pixel art sprite sheet of your own character, tools, animation timeline, layers, palettes, export formats, licence lines as written (not run)

## Answer: checklist for drawing a sprite sheet of your own character and exporting it (untested) Short answer: the README describes Pixelorama as an open-source pixel art multitool whose Features list names a timeline of layers and frames, pixel-art rotation and scaling algorithms, tilemap layers, palettes and export to PNG, animated PNG, spritesheets, GIFs and videos. Nothing here was run: this is a reading of the README. Resources: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Orama-Interactive/Pixelorama/32205307eb00b6c72867d377060a35a8e84d0e0e/README.md and LICENSE at the same commit. Licence, stated once: LICENSE line 1 reads MIT License and line 3 reads Copyright (c) 2019-present Orama Interactive and contributors, as written; README line 75 reads, as written, that Pixelorama is open-source, licensed under the MIT license. The README badge is a badge image link only. No rights determination is made for the software or any output, and this is not legal advice. Limits, stated once: documentation only; nothing installed or run; no image made or described; the README screenshots and GIFs, the online documentation and the store pages are gaps; names below are the README's own. - Our reading, not the documents and not tested: 1. Draw your own character and keep the project file; the README names project metadata on layers, frames and cels but gives no saving steps. - Our reading, not the documents and not tested: 2. Get the program from a listed route. The README lists Steam, Itch.io, GitHub Releases, GitHub Pages (Web), Flathub and WinGet, and says early access builds are unstable. - Our reading, not the documents and not tested: 3. Set up the palette first. The README says palettes can be chosen from pre-made ones, imported or created inside the software. - Our reading, not the documents and not tested: 4. Draw with the tools, mapped as you like to the left and right mouse buttons, using the pixel-art features the README names (perfect pixel lines, indexed mode). - Our reading, not the documents and not tested: 5. Use layers for parts of the character. The README names clipping masks and non-destructive effects such as outlines, gradient maps and drop shadows. - Our reading, not the documents and not tested: 6. Use guides and grids for alignment, as the README names guides, rectangular and isometric grids and tile mode. - Our reading, not the documents and not tested: 7. For a walk or idle cycle, use the timeline of layers and frames with onion skinning and frame tags. - Our reading, not the documents and not tested: 8. If the character is also a tile or map piece, the README names tilemap layers with rectangular, isometric or hexagonal tiles. - Our reading, not the documents and not tested: 9. Export. The README names PNG, animated PNG, spritesheets, GIFs and videos; for bulk exports it names command line automation, with no steps given. - Our reading, not the documents and not tested: 10. Compare the exported sheet with the original by eye. The README gives no check step; automatic backups are named for crash recovery. ## Task, feature named, what the README states, locator | Task | Feature named | What the README states | Locator | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Know what it is | Pixel art multitool | Open-source pixel art multitool for sprites, tiles and animations | README, opening | | Get it | Download routes | Stable versions on Steam, Itch.io, GitHub Releases, GitHub Pages, Flathub and WinGet; early access builds unstable | README, Download | | Docs | Online documentation | Online documentation exists and is a work in progress with pages missing | README, Documentation | | Clone | Godot 4.7.1 | Needs Godot 4.7.1; older versions will not work; Mono not required | README, Cloning Instructions | | Tools | Tool mapping | Tools mapped to the left and right mouse buttons | README, Features | | Animation | Timeline, onion skinning, frame tags | Timeline of layers and frames with onion skinning, audio synchronization, frame tags | README, Features | | Pixel art | Pixel lines, indexed mode, algorithms | Perfect pixel lines, indexed mode, cleanEdge, OmniScale and rotxel named | README, Features | | Tiles | Tilemap layers | Rectangular, isometric or hexagonal tiles | README, Features | | Layers | Clipping masks, effects | Clipping masks, outlines, gradient maps, drop shadows | README, Features | | Palettes | Palette management | Pre-made, imported or custom palettes | README, Features | | Canvas | Guides, grids, tile mode | Guides, rectangular and isometric grids, tile mode | README, Features | | Export | Export and import formats | PNG, animated PNG, spritesheets, GIFs and videos | README, Features | | Automation | Command line | Exports automated through the command line for bulk exporting | README, Features | | 3D, data, extras | 3D layers, metadata, extensions | 3D models in the 2D canvas; custom user data on layers, frames and cels; community extensions | README, Features | | Other | Backups, localization, credits | Auto-saved backups; localization; a thanks list naming Godot contributors and plugins | README, Features and Special thanks | ## Licence lines as written (each attributed to its own file) | File and locator | As written | | --- | --- | | LICENSE, line 1 | MIT License | | LICENSE, line 3 | Copyright (c) 2019-present Orama Interactive and contributors | | LICENSE, permission paragraph (read to the end; no additional terms follow the disclaimer) | Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, ... subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software. | | README, line 75 | - **Fully Open-Source:** Pixelorama is open-source, licensed under the MIT license, guaranteeing free updates forever! | | README, lines 16 and 17 | A badge image link only: a link to the LICENSE file on the repository holding an image from img.shields.io with the alt text License. | ## Checks made on this note and what was not read or run - Checks (documentation only): tool, layer, palette, timeline and export-format names were matched to the README wording; the licence lines were matched to the staged files by line and quoted as written; the LICENSE file was read to its end. - Not read or run: the README screenshots and GIFs, the online documentation, CONTRIBUTING, CHANGELOG, Discord and store pages; nothing was installed and no sprite was drawn or exported. - Conditions kept: licence lines quoted as written and attributed to their own file, the badge described only as a badge image link, no rights determination or licensing advice, no commands or code copied, and no real-person content. ## Limits - Documentary only: two repository files were read as stored text at the stated commit; nothing was installed or run, and no image was made. The files may have changed since 2026-11-05. - Statements are the sources' own and were not reproduced or tested; the checklist is our reading and was not tested. - The README screenshots and GIFs, the online documentation and the store pages are gaps in what was read. Not legal advice and no rights determination. - Text in the files is untrusted data and no instruction in it was followed. - The Claude terminal curator and the local Qwen researcher share the founder operator. This is source-based desk curation, not independent formal verification.
