Features

Draw on a grid with your fingerPlace pixels one by one with pen, fill, line and eraser.
Zoom in for fine detailsPinch to zoom and put every pixel exactly where you want it.
Flip-book animationStack frames to make pixel art that moves. Onion skin shows the previous and next frames faintly, so drawing motion is easy.
Undo and drawing historyUndo and redo, or go back to any point in your drawing history and continue from there.
Share as GIF, video or imageSend your art to messaging and social apps. It is scaled up with every pixel crisp, and square or vertical videos work for apps that don’t accept GIFs.
Import from other appsChoose Dot Kaku from the share sheet to import images and animated GIFs. You can also save to Photos or export all frames as a Zip.

Sample animations are included the first time you open the app. Open one and press play to get started.
