FAQ
Does the outline change the sprite size?
Yes — the canvas expands by the outline thickness on all sides. A 32×32 sprite with 1px outline becomes 34×34.
What thickness should I use?
1px is standard for most pixel art. 2px gives a bolder look. 3–4px can work for larger sprites or stylistic effects.
Can I outline sprites with transparent backgrounds?
Yes, the outline is added around non-transparent pixels only. Transparent areas stay transparent.
