AI Pixel Art Generator

Describe a sprite, get pixel art you can actually edit — a canvas of pixels with a real palette, not a picture of pixel art.

How to use it

1. Describe the sprite — “a sleeping orange cat”, “a red health potion”, “a knight with a shield”. Pick a look: sprite, icon, character or scene, and a view.
2. Or start from a picture — attach a reference image (the 🖼 button in the prompt bar, or drop a file on it) and say what to change: “as a side-view walking sprite”. The subject, pose and colors carry over.
3. Generate — one credit-costing call to the image model, which draws a large, flat-colored picture of your subject.
4. Tune it, free — change the size (16–128), cap the palette (8/16/32), cut or keep the background, crop to the subject. Every change re-converts the same picture in your browser.
5. Open in Editor — the sprite lands on a canvas with layers, mirror drawing, animation frames and export.

Why the result is editable, not a screenshot

Image models can't draw a true 32×32 bitmap — they draw a big picture that looks like pixel art, with blended edges, hundreds of near-identical colors and a background baked in. This tool undoes that: it removes the background by flood-filling it away from the border inwards, crops to your subject, then resamples the picture one grid cell at a time, keeping the model's own flat colors. What you get is a real pixel grid with a small palette.

Features

• Text to sprite — prompt modifiers for style and view, plus an optional dark outline, so you don't have to write prompt incantations.
• Reference image — attach a photo, drawing or existing sprite and have it redrawn as pixel art; it is downscaled in your browser before being sent.
• Sizes 16×16 to 128×128, or Auto — Auto reads the cell size the model actually drew at and keeps every pixel of that detail; switching size re-converts the same picture instead of charging again.
• Palette cap — 8, 16 or 32 colors, chosen by how much area each color covers, so flat regions stay flat.
• Background control — cut it to transparency, keep it as a color, or leave it untouched when the removal misjudges a subject.
• See the original — compare the model's own picture with the pixel art built from it.
• History — your recent generations are saved to your account; reopen any of them from any device and re-tune size, palette or backdrop without spending credits again.
• Editor hand-off — draw, animate, export to PNG/SVG/JSON or a game spritesheet.
