Core Capabilities

Precision Drawing Tools

> 1-Bit Graphics Engine & Editor

Everything you need to design pixel-perfect monochrome graphics without the bloat.

  • ■ Comprehensive drawing and editing tools.
  • ■ Advanced selection, transformation, and canvas operations.
  • ■ Clean, distraction-free interface focused on pixel manipulation.
Direct Source Code Sync

> Sprite Extraction

Turn mystery C-arrays back into visual art. No math, no spreadsheets—just point Hexprite at your `.h` file and watch every embedded sprite reconstruct instantly.

  • ■ Scans entire `.c, `.h, or .py files to extract embedded sprites.
  • ■ Automatically detects variable names, dimensions, and formats.
  • ■ Provides mini visual thumbnails for inspection before importing.
Embedded Typography

> Direct Source File Syncing

Stop juggling web converters, formatting templates, and tedious copy-pasting. Hexprite links directly to your project’s .c, `.h, or .py files..

  • ■ Saves in Hexprite instantly update your source code in VS Code, CLion, or PlatformIO.
  • ■ Manual source code edits sync automatically back to Hexprite.
  • ■ Easily restore files to their original states if needed.
Live Hardware Streaming

> Live Hardware Preview

Connect your Arduino, ESP32, STM32, or Raspberry Pi Pico via USB and watch your sprites come to life on physical OLED/e-Paper displays while you draw.

  • ■ Every pencil stroke and selection reflects instantly on your hardware.
  • ■ Preview multi-frame animations at full frame rates over high-speed serial.
  • ■ Temporarily takes over the display without overwriting your firmware.
Sprite Animation

> Embedded Typography

Go beyond sprites with a dedicated, professional embedded bitmap font editor built from the ground up for microcontroller displays.

  • ■ Go beyond sprites with a dedicated embedded bitmap font editor built for microcontroller displays.
  • ■ Export to Adafruit GFX, u8g2, and LVGL with tight auto-cropping.
  • ■ Convert TrueType, BMFont, or sprite sheets into editable monochrome pixel fonts.
Advanced Dithering

> Animation Studio

Bring 1-bit art to life. Design, onion-skin, preview, and export frame-by-frame animations directly into embedded C-arrays, animated GIFs, and Flipper Zero packages.

  • ■ Multi-frame timeline with onion skinning and batch frame operations.
  • ■ One-click export to microcontroller-ready C-arrays and lookup tables.
  • ■ Export to animated GIFs or native Flipper Zero animation bundles.
Native Flipper Zero Support

> Advanced Dithering

Turn photos and graphics into striking monochrome art for your OLED, LCD, or e-Paper display.

  • ■ Convert full-color photos into 1-bit art using 6 mathematical algorithms.
  • ■ Smart edge locking ensures silhouettes stay sharp and readable.
  • ■ Draw, shade, and fill with interactive dither patterns.
Flipper Zero Integration

> Flipper Zero Integration

No Python scripts. No manual `meta.txt` editing. Hexprite is purpose-built to read, animate, and export Flipper Zero formats natively.

  • ■ Open and save native `.bm` bitmap icons and animations directly.
  • ■ Encodes frames with native compression for minimal Flash footprint.
  • ■ Export ready-to-blit assets for custom C/C++ Flipper applications.

FUTURE ROADMAP

RGB565 Mode

Planned Release
  • ✦ Color TFT Support: Planned for ST7735, ILI9341, GC9A01, and color e-paper.
  • ✦ Advanced Palettes: Indexed color, RGB565, and up to 32-bit color modes.
  • ✦ Asset Packing: Generate binary asset bundles for SPI Flash / SD cards.
  • ✦ Will be developed in the future following the monochrome edition.

> Support the Project

Built to eliminate friction in embedded graphics. Hexprite replaces fragmented tools and web converters with one unified, native workflow.

Open Source Goal

As a solo developer, I'm committed to keeping the core monochrome features entirely free. If this tool saves you time, consider a donation. Once we reach $500, I will release the Hexprite Monochrome edition as open-source software.
