Meet 8bit CloudAlways your creation.
Your artwork belongs to you. Keep it, export it, or give it a page. 8bit.page does not use it to train AI models.
Our promise to creatorsSaving, exporting, and publishing are different. Cloud keeps an editable Project. Export downloads a finished file. Publish creates an Artwork page—not an editable backup. Download a .8bit Project to keep a portable copy.
Is 8bit.page free to use?
Yes. You can create pixel art, animate, and export without paying. The editor runs in your browser, so there is nothing to install.
Do I need an account?
Not to start drawing or save local Projects. Sign in to publish Artwork, use optional 8bit Cloud sync, or host a private collaboration session. Invited collaborators can join without an account.
Where is my work saved?
By default, editable Projects autosave in this browser on this device. Clearing browser data can remove local-only work. Save an editable .8bit file for a portable copy, or enable Cloud sync for a Project after signing in.
Can I draw on my phone or tablet?
Yes. The editor has a mobile layout with a dock for tools, colors, frames, and layers. A larger screen gives you more room for detailed work.
What can I export?
Still images, animation loops, PNG sprite sheets with JSON metadata, and video. Formats include PNG, SVG, GIF, APNG, WebP, WebM, and MP4. Availability depends on the canvas mode and export type; animated exports use fixed-canvas Projects.
Does publishing make my editable Project public?
Not by default. Publish shares the rendered Artwork. You can choose to include an editable .8bit snapshot, but this is optional and separate from Cloud sync. Choose a public or link-only Artwork page. Anyone with a private link can view it—it is not password protected.
