Quick Answer
This free online pixel art editor is Pixelorama — the open-source sprite editor by Orama Interactive — running entirely in your browser.

It is the same engine as the desktop editor, free with no account, and your art never leaves your device.
How It Works

Draw frames with the pencil, eraser, bucket, and shading tools; use onion skinning to see the previous frame
Build a palette or import one, then animate on the timeline
Export a sprite sheet, GIF, or PNG sequence to your device

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this really free with no account?
Yes — Pixelorama is open-source (MIT) and embedded here exactly as published. No account, no watermark, no export limits.
Can it replace Aseprite for game art?
For indie sprite work — character animations, tilesets, item icons — yes. It has Aseprite-style animation, palettes, and sprite-sheet export; a few niche Aseprite scripting features are missing.
Does it work on phones?
It runs, but pixel art wants precise pointer input — a desktop with a mouse or a tablet is the better experience.
