Tilf — Pixel Art Editor
Tilf (Tiny Elf) is a simple yet powerful pixel art editor built with PySide6. It’s designed for creating sprites, icons, and small 2D assets with essential tools, live preview, undo/redo, and export options.
There are several Pixel Art Editors that do the same things and even much more, but many require an account registration or the insertion of an e-mail or have a certain business model.
I'm not interested in all that, my goal is to be able to create sprites freely, with (almost) zero dependencies, zero setup time, zero installations:
Tilf starts and I begin to draw what I want.
It runs on Windows, MacOS and GNU/Linux.

There's definitely room for improvement, so I'm more than happy to accept PRs from anyone willing to contribute.
Why doesn't this tool have many commits?
