That one website that makes pixel art and animated sprites

Why it's the pick

Draw sprites frame by frame with a live animation preview, then export an animated GIF or a PNG spritesheet. Free, open source and no account; it's simpler than full pixel-art apps, and the maintainers only take small fixes these days.
