## Requirements
2012-08-30 10:18:57 +00:00
2014-03-15 15:59:16 +00:00
Piskel supports the following browsers :
* **Chrome** (latest)
* **Firefox** (latest)
2014-03-16 20:25:20 +00:00
* **Internet Explorer** 10+
2012-08-30 10:18:57 +00:00
2014-03-16 20:25:20 +00:00
... and a fairly recent computer.
2012-08-27 23:18:56 +00:00
2014-03-16 20:25:20 +00:00
We don't plan/want/could be forced into supporting older IEs. For Opera and Safari, we've never tested them but the gap shouldn't be huge.

The Piskel editor is purely built in **JavaScript, HTML and CSS** . It uses Canvas extensively for displaying all them pretty sprites.
2014-03-15 15:59:16 +00:00
We also use the following **libraries** :

2014-03-15 15:59:16 +00:00

* [canvas-toBlob ](https://github.com/eligrey/canvas-toBlob.js/ ) : shim for canvas toBlob
2014-03-15 15:59:16 +00:00
* [jquery ](http://jquery.com/ ) : used sporadically in the application
