Aseprite — Steam license

About the game

Aseprite is the cult editor for pixel-art drawing and frame-by-frame sprite animation: onion skinning, frame tags, tilemaps, Lua scripting and export to sprite sheets and GIFs. It powered Celeste, Loop Hero and Pizza Tower. You get a full lifetime license — we send it to your Steam account as a gift.

Once the gift is delivered it cannot be refunded. If Steam rejects the gift due to region mismatch, the full amount is returned to your site balance.
Available items are processed automatically. Any issues will be resolved starting from 9:00 MSK.

Your Steam account region must match the gift region, and Aseprite must not already be in your library. This is software (a pixel-art editor), not a game.

FAQ

Aseprite on Steam: a full pixel-art editor license

Aseprite is the tool half the modern indie scene runs on: compact, fast and built for exactly one job — drawing pixel art and animating sprites frame by frame. Whether you're making a game, icons, emoji, or you simply love the pixel aesthetic, this is the app you come back to every day. Here you buy a full Aseprite license, and we send it straight to your Steam account as a gift — the app lands in your library and updates like any other.

What Aseprite is and why you'd want it

Aseprite is a dedicated editor for pixel graphics and frame-by-frame animation by Igara Studio (created by David Capello). Unlike heavyweight graphics suites, it doesn't try to do everything: instead it nails the things a pixel artist actually needs. Crisp non-blurry pixels, palettes, indexed color, symmetry, pixel-perfect outlines and a shading ink tool — all within reach, no menu-diving.

Animation is where Aseprite really shines. A timeline with frames and layers, tags to mark loops (idle, walk, attack), several playback modes and, of course, onion skinning — ghosts of neighboring frames that make posing motion effortless. You can preview the finished animation in real time and export it to a sprite sheet, GIF or PNG sequence.

What's in the license

You get a full perpetual Aseprite license — no subscriptions, no cut features. It's the same build as on the Steam store, with everything included:

  • Drawing with true pixel tools: pencil, fill, selections, curves, symmetry, custom brushes.
  • Full frame-by-frame animation: layers, frames, tags, onion skinning, real-time preview.
  • Tilemap and tileset support — handy for levels and tile-based art.
  • Import and export: sprite sheets, GIF, PNG sequences, plus FLC/FLI, JPG, BMP, PCX, TGA.
  • Automation: a command-line interface (CLI) and Lua scripting for repetitive tasks.

Version 1.x updates arrive through Steam for free — nothing extra to buy. The app runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, and the Steam version is tied to your account, so you can install it across your machines on those platforms.

Games made with Aseprite

The best ad for a tool is the games built with it. Aseprite drew the sprites for Celeste, Loop Hero and Pizza Tower, along with TowerFall, Minit, Wargroove, Eastward and Unpacking. If you love how those projects look, you now hold the same tool.

How we deliver Aseprite

We send Aseprite as a Steam Gift. We need two things from you: your Steam friend invite link (open your profile → “Add Friend” → copy the s.team/p/... link) and your Steam account region. The bot handles the rest: it adds itself as your friend, sends the gift and leaves your friends list once delivered. You don't need to accept the friend request, and Steam Guard isn't required.

Two conditions Steam enforces: your account region must match the gift region, and Aseprite must not already be in that account's library (a gift can't be applied to an app you already own). With both in place, you just accept the gift in Steam and the license is yours.

How long delivery takes

The gift usually arrives within a couple of minutes of ordering — the bot runs automatically. Like any such service, delays or hiccups happen occasionally; when they do, we work to sort it out quickly. We don't promise a hard SLA, but it's normally very fast.

Who Aseprite is for

If you're a beginner, Aseprite is one of the friendliest doors into pixel art: a small set of clear tools instead of the wall of buttons you get in big editors. You can grasp the basics in an evening and then grow deeper — into layers, animation tags and tilemaps. If you're already in the craft, it's a workhorse for game dev: spin up a new sprite in seconds, export clean assets into your engine, and automate the boring parts with the CLI and Lua. Emoji, icon and sticker artists love it too — crisp pixels and handy palettes do the job.

Steam Deck, Linux and cross-platform

Aseprite comes from all three desktop worlds: there are native builds for Windows, macOS and Linux, so hopping between machines is painless. On a Steam Deck people usually run it in desktop mode as a regular Linux app — drawing is comfier with a mouse or tablet, but the program itself is light and easy on hardware. Since the license is tied to your Steam account, you install Aseprite on any of your devices across those platforms without separate keys.

Common snag: the bot didn't add you

The usual cause is an expired or closed invite link, or friend requests being blocked in your profile settings. Generate a fresh link, make sure your privacy allows friend requests, and send us the new link — we'll resend the gift.
