How to add an outline or shadow to a sprite

Pixel art mode treats the sprite as hard pixels: the outline follows the shape exactly, with no half-transparent edge.
Frames stay aligned: every frame of the same size grows by the same amount, so the animation does not jump.
Ground shadow is drawn under the lowest opaque pixels, sized to the sprite’s feet.

Quick answers about the sprite outline & shadow tool.

My sprite has a white background, not transparency

Remove it first with the background remover or the split tool’s transparent background option, then add the outline.

Can I make only the outline, without the sprite?

Not yet. Set the sprite layer aside by using the outline colour with the sprite’s own colour, or ask for this feature.

Is it free?

Yes.
