Brush Manager Pro & Dithering Generator [ITCH.IO ✧]
Hi everyone! ( ˙꒳˙ ). How it all started...
As an artist, I’ve always found Aseprite’s native custom brush system a bit overwhelming once your collection starts to grow. While creating my own massive brush pack, I realized I needed a proper way to organize them or they would just spill off my screen.
Honestly, I had zero experience with lua before this. It took me half a year since november 2025 to figure out the Aseprite api and fix every single error I ran into. It was a long process of learning and debugging late at night, but I’m happy it’s finally ready. I really hope these tools will be as useful for you as they are for me!
1. Brush Manager Pro >> [ Download ] <<
A complete library system for your custom brushes. It turns any sliced .aseprite file into an organized, searchable catalog.

Real-time FX & Live Outlines: Apply 10 dynamic effects or perfectly colored outlines while you draw.
-
Palette Extractor & Generator: Automatically pull colors from any brush to create a temp palette, or generate harmonious shading variations based on your active color.

2. Dithering Generator >> [ Download ] <<
A powerful procedural shading engine that integrates directly with the Brush Manager.

8 Noise Types & Threshold Maps: Stop placing pixels by hand! Generate patterns using Bayer, Blue Noise, Halftone, White Noise, or Lines. Use 8-bit grayscale height maps for super smooth blending instead of basic 1-bit pixels.
-
Density Gradients & Multi-Color Mode: Create flawless transitions by setting Start and End densities. You can even use your selected palette colors for the gradient instead of just transparency!
-
Custom Silhouettes: Apply procedural noise directly to your Active Brush. Customize it with adjustable offsets, scaling, and rotation angles.

Native Tool Install: Love a matrix you just made? Click “Install Matrix” to add it directly to Aseprite’s native Gradient Tool!

3. Pre-Sliced Brush Collections
I’ve also rebuilt my brush packs into a new native format. Every single brush is now a named Slice inside an
.asepritefile (no more PNGs!), making them instantly searchable in the Brush Manager plugin.
✧ 605+ Brushes (Premium Collection) >> [ Download ] <<
A massive library for retro shading, stone masonry, UI elements, and natural textures:
- Includes: 208 Dithers, 198 Patterns, 176 Stamps, and Multi-color presets.
- Smart Layout: 16x16 px standardized grid with built-in canvas guides (EN, RU, ZH layers).
✧ 112+ Brushes (Free Starter Pack) >> [ Download ] <<
A completely free sample to test the workflow. Perfect for adding woven fabrics, circuits, and classic textures to your art:
- Includes: 26 Dithers, 74 Patterns, 11 Stamps.
(Bonus: Even if you don’t use the plugin, you can easily use these files natively. Just select any pre-sliced tile and press Ctrl+B to make a brush!)
✧ Ecosystem Integration!
These tools are designed to talk to each other. You can manage your stamps in the Manager, send them to the Generator for shading, and save the results back to your library.
Demo versions are available for those who want to test the core features first!
I have a huge roadmap for future updates and I’m actively listening to feedback. If you have any suggestions or find a bug, let’s chat in the comments!
Happy pixeling! (´｡• ᵕ •｡`)
