# Pixel Art Editor (Aseprite fork)
LibreSprite — the GPL-licensed fork from the last open-source Aseprite release.
## vs Pixelorama (#251)
- **#251 Pixelorama** — modern Godot-based, broader feature set
- **#252 LibreSprite (this)** — preserves the original Aseprite UX that defined pixel-art workflows
Many pixel artists prefer LibreSprite's specific Aseprite-derived shortcuts + UX even though it has fewer features than Pixelorama. Catalog UX should let users pick.
## Features
- Layers + frames + tags + timeline
- Onion skin
- Custom palettes (load from .gpl / .pal / .aco / .hex)
- RGBA + indexed + grayscale color modes
- Selection + rotation + scaling
- Animation export (.gif, spritesheet, .ase)
- Lua scripting
## Packaging
KasmVNC + apt-installed LibreSprite. Note: Debian Bookworm may not include LibreSprite directly; we use a community PPA or download a Linux build.
## CONFIRM-AT-BUILD
LibreSprite distribution on Linux varies (AppImage / Flatpak / community packages). Verify path each release.
