How it works

Pixel Art Rotate, step by step

  1. 01

    Load a sprite

    Enlarged sprites are brought back to their real 1× pixels first, so clean-edge rotation works on true pixels.

  2. 02

    Set the angle

    Drag to any angle or pick a common one. The canvas grows so corners are never clipped.

  3. 03

    Check the edges

    Clean-edge rotation keeps lines one pixel wide and uses only the sprite’s own colors.

  4. 04

    Download

    Save the rotated sprite at 1×, or enlarged with whole-number scaling.

Questions

Pixel Art Rotate FAQ

Ordinary rotation blurs pixels or breaks lines into jagged steps. Clean-edge rotation reads the sprite’s edges first and rebuilds them at the new angle, so lines stay one pixel wide and no new colors appear.

It solves the same problem as RotSprite: rotating sprites by any angle while keeping them looking hand-drawn. It runs in your browser, free, with no plugin to install.

A rotated sprite needs more room for its corners. The canvas grows to fit the whole sprite at the new angle, centered, with transparent padding.
