Aseprite is the best pixel art tool out there. You have the option to either download it or compile it yourself. I show you how to do the second option.
LINKS:
Aseprite source – https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite/releases
Cmake – https://cmake.org/download/ (download Latest Release (3.31.5) ignore version 4, scroll down and you will see it. 4.0.0-rc1 didn’t work for a viewer in discord)
Ninja – https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/releases
Skia – https://github.com/aseprite/skia/releases
Visual Studio Community 2022 – https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/

paste in build folder cmd:
call /”C://Program Files//Microsoft Visual Studio//2022//Community//Common7//Tools//VsDevCmd.bat/” -arch=x64

then:
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DLAF_BACKEND=skia -DSKIA_DIR=C://deps//skia -DSKIA_LIBRARY_DIR=C://deps//skia//out//Release-x64 -DSKIA_LIBRARY=C://deps//skia//out//Release-x64//skia.lib -G Ninja ..

then:
ninja aseprite
