There are several pictures that show up so don’t be surprised if your’s is different.

To start click the new option. There a bunch of different tools that you can use to create your sprite. The tool bar is located on the upper left side of the window. In order to select a tool, click on it with which button you want to use to activate it with. If you left click on the eraser icon, then left click will become eraser.

The color and the size menu are located at the upper right corner. Just toggle the wheel and the bars to change. In order to save or export your project, press control s for save and command e for export. Then just follow the instructions.

In order to import a custom sprite to scratch, go to the sprite menu(bottom right) hover over it, and click the import button. Then just search through your stuff until you find your sprite that you made in pixelrama.

Once you find it click the open button on the bottom right corner to import it. Depending on how big you created your sprite, it might be too small. In order to fix that go to the middle right menu and find where it says size. Just enter a new number and it will be bigger!
