Recolor your sprites into any palette, in bulk
ColorCraft is a desktop recoloring and palette tool for pixel artists, asset creators, and game developers. Try a new mood for a tileset, create team colors, or build elemental and rarity variants from existing artwork. Work on one sprite or process a whole asset folder against multiple palettes.
Keep control of your colors
- Shade-preserving recoloring: Map color ramps in dark-to-light order to help preserve the shading in your artwork.
- Live previews: Compare original and recolored artwork before running a batch, with split, comparison, full, and grid views.
- Protected colors: Keep selected colors unchanged, target specific colors, or adjust individual mappings manually.
- Color matching and dithering: Choose matching methods including Oklab, CIEDE2000, Redmean, luminance, and structural SOM, with multiple dithering options.
Build variations across your asset library
- Batch processing: Apply multiple palettes to image folders with configurable output naming and a summary before processing.
- Variant Generator: Generate sets of 4 to 16 color variants for characters, equipment, or other sprites, with controls for protected colors.
- Palette tools: Import palettes, extract colors from reference images, generate color harmonies and ramps, and organize favorite palettes.
- Lospec integration: Search and download palettes from inside the app. Online features require an internet connection.
