Pixel-edit (eraser & fill)

Clean up jagged edges, paint out a stray pixel, fill a region. In-editor pixel paint without leaving Charios.

Sometimes auto-cut leaves a stray pixel on a sprite, or you want to clean up a jagged edge, or paint out a logo from a stock image. Charios has a built-in pixel editor that works on any selected layer — no need to round-trip to Photoshop.

Opening the editor

Select a single layer and click the Edit button in the floating toolbar (pencil icon). The editor canvas zooms into the layer's texture and the floating toolbar swaps for an Eraser tool with a brush-radius slider.

Erase mode

Click and drag to erase pixels under the brush. Brush radius is adjustable from 1 px (precision pixel removal) to ~64 px (broad strokes). The cursor shows the brush size as a circle outline.

Fill mode

Click anywhere on the texture to flood-fill connected pixels with full transparency — useful when auto-cut gave you the character and a gradient background and you want to wipe the background in one click.

Saving your edit

Each stroke saves automatically — there's no confirm step. The previous version of the layer is kept in the History panel (right rail), so an over-eager erase is easy to undo. Hit + Z to step back stroke by stroke; click an entry in the History panel to revert to a specific older version.

When to use external tools instead

Pixel-edit is for small touch-ups. If you need to redraw a body part — change the colour palette, redraw the face, add detail — open the source PNG in your image editor and re-upload the layer. Right-click the layer row → Replace texture swaps the sprite without losing its bone attachment, position, or rotation.
