|-

|Contact Wan? Not suggested.
|Good Luck
|One of the OG tools, very hard to use allegedly
|-
|TNT
|Extracts and compiles NRI's via a CLI
|[https://github.com/TricksterOnline/TNT Download PyroSamurai's Github Repository]
|Free
|One of the OG Tools
|-
|PalEdit
|Edit and view Pal Files + BMP's
|[https://www.baker76.com/paledit/ Download from PalEdit's official site]
|Free
|Does not export to our format but you can pseudo-edit visually using a bmp of a char standing as a reference then use the colors you colorpicked in Cyotek
|-
|Cyotek Color Palette Editor
|Export to our appropriate pal format (24-bit RGB VGA files) 
|[https://www.cyotek.com/cyotek-palette-editor Download from Cyotek's website]
|Free
|This is the mega converter. Must have.
|-
|Fuse Batch Resize Tool
|Uniformly pads items for animation standardization and bulk import
|[https://github.com/mewsieworld/FuseBatchResizeTool Download from mewsieworld's github]
|Free
|Good for standardizing animations/assets. Not much else.
|-
|Pixel Composer
|Bulk create and process images and animations
|[https://store.steampowered.com/app/2299510/Pixel_Composer/ Buy off Steam] or [https://github.com/Ttanasart-pt/Pixel-Composer?tab=readme-ov-file Download off Ttanasart-pt's Github Repo]
|Paid or Free
|Powerful, powerful tool for sprite modification and animation. Honestly? Underpriced. Harder to run without paying for it--strongly recommend paying for it anyway.
|-
|Material Maker
|Create 2D and 3D Animations + Effects
|[https://rodzilla.itch.io/material-maker Download off itch.io]
|Pay-what-you-want
|This is a lot like Pixel Composer, but it's not directly made for sprite editing. You can use this to make 2D effects for your cream files or the like. Plus, can't argue with "Free if I want it to be" right?
|-
|Aseprite
|Simple but powerful Sprite animation tool
|[https://store.steampowered.com/app/431730/Aseprite/ Buy off Steam]
|Paid
|Simple but well-known pixel art animator.
|-
|Palette Wizard
|Edit and generate unique palettes
|[https://store.steampowered.com/app/1102420/Palette_Wizard/ Buy off Steam]
|Paid
|This makes really cool color palettes for things such as fuse creation and fashion. It does not export in our formats and would require Cyotek.
|-
|SpriteMancer
|Edit animations and images in a work-flow environment
|[https://store.steampowered.com/app/1858750/SpriteMancer/ Buy off Steam]
|Paid
|This, I plan on making cream effects with the most--it seems the most powerful for this. I am waiting on more research regarding the effects before going forward with this, but like PixelComposer, it's super powerful, and I anticipate good results.
|-
|Image2pixel
|Converts images into pixel-based formats
|[https://store.steampowered.com/app/3475120/Image2pixelPixelArtGenerator/ Buy off Steam]
|Paid
|It's simple but effective. I do not know if this exports in a format that CalatZ's fuse tool accepts yet, but I will be testing.
|-
|Swatcher
|Lightweight and simple palette creation and automator
|[https://store.steampowered.com/app/579920/Swatcher/ Buy off Steam]
|Paid
|Very simple, very lightweight, but great color picker. Requires Cyotek to export to our appropriate .pal file
|-
|Photoshop
|Edit and create pixel art
|[https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop.html Buy Adobe Subscription]
|Paid
|One of the OG tools.
|-

|View NRI tools and export to BMP
|[https://web.archive.org/web/20110818014144/http://www.katch.ne.jp/~k_okada/vixintro/ Archive.org Mirror] and [http://forum.ragezone.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=30130&stc=1&d=1155075410 NRI plugin]
|Free
|I have not tested this yet but I prefer to use TNT to export the sprites and then edit them from there, to be quite honest. This is one of the OG tools so I kept it on here.
|-
|Smack Studio
|Edit and battle your own pixelart
|[https://store.steampowered.com/app/1739300/Smack_Studio/ Buy off Steam]
|Paid
|Super cool for monster and NPC pixel art. You can also view your stuff in a 2.5D way using a 2D partsheet and rigging it. Very nifty.
|-
|Tilesetter
|Edit spritesheets and export entire tilesheets quickly
|[https://store.steampowered.com/app/1105890/Tilesetter/ Buy off Steam]
|Paid
|Honestly would go sick with a custom map maker
|-
