What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Edge3 is under continuous development, including stability improvements, feature expansion, workflow refinements, and documentation updates. It is being released as Early Access to allow development to proceed while incorporating feedback from users.”

Approximately how long will this software be in Early Access?

“At this time, we expect the Early Access period to last approximately 6 to 12 months.
This period may change depending on development progress.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes all core features needed for pixel art creation, such as drawing, palette management, layers, and animation.

For the full version, we plan to continue improving stability and usability, addressing user requests, and expanding the documentation and related libraries.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version can be used for basic pixel art creation and animation production.

However, there may still be bugs, usability issues, and missing features. We will continue improving the software over time.”

Will this software be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“There are currently no plans to change the price.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We accept bug reports, feature requests, and other feedback through the Steam Community and other channels.
We will refer to this feedback as we continue improving the software, with the goal of making it easier to use for different user workflows.”

About This Software

Edge3 is a pixel art editor featuring powerful palette management and animation tools.

It supports both part-based animation and traditional frame-by-frame animation, allowing you to create game-ready sprites and pixel art with flexibility.

Animation

  • Create part-based animations by assembling individual sprite parts

  • Create traditional frame-by-frame animations

  • Switch between part-based and frame-based workflows depending on your needs

  • Use onion skinning to reference previous and next frames while editing

  • Organize and switch between multiple motions (e.g. walk, attack)

Drawing & Editing

  • Pen, eraser, text, Bézier, and various drawing and selection tools

  • Right-click to quickly pick colors (eyedropper)

  • Right-drag to stamp and duplicate instantly

  • Use Ctrl+click to fill and Shift+click to draw straight lines with the pen tool, reducing the need to switch tools while drawing

  • Real-time transform of selections (move, scale, rotate)

Color & Palette

  • Supports indexed color (with alpha) and RGBA color modes

  • Manage and switch between multiple palettes

  • Change colors per frame for advanced effects

Efficient Workflow

  • View the same file in multiple views simultaneously

  • Work with both zoomed-in and full views side by side

  • Flip and rotate the view to check visual balance

  • Detach views into separate windows for multi-monitor setups

Flexible Customization

  • Customize toolbars and keyboard shortcuts

  • Remap right-click and mouse wheel actions

  • Switch between tabbed and MDI layouts

  • Dock or float panels freely

Extensions (Optional)

  • A separately distributed optional tool is planned to enable thumbnail previews of Edge3 files in Windows Explorer

Note: Edge3 is based on Edge2, but its workflows and feature set have been redesigned.

          Some specifications and behaviors differ from Edge2.
