Tool: LibreSprite is a free, open-source alternative to Aseprite

...pixel till you drop.

Yes, Asesprite is one of the best pixeltools that is out there. But sometimes messing around with the payed licence can be annoying.

LibreSprite is a free and open-source alternative, that is very close to Aseprite.

How can this be possible, since the tool looks so much like a clone?

Answer given in the webpage:

LibreSprite originated as a fork of Aseprite, developed by David Capello. Aseprite used to be distributed under the GNU General Public License version 2, but was moved to a proprietary license on August 26th, 2016.

So, the open source licence of the original version is still valid.

Happy pixeling!
