RPG Maker MZ - Tileset Builder

A serious pixel art editor, built for RPG Maker.

Tileset Builder is an editing tool dedicated to pixel art creation for tilesets and character sprites.

From tileset editing and pixel-perfect drawing, to autotile preview, character animation playback, and feature extension through plugins — every tool you need for RPG Maker asset creation, brought together in a single application.

Dual-Pane Workflow

Source image on one side, editing canvas on the other. Reference, trace, color-pick — every step of asset creation, with simple controls.
