Questions people ask
What is an AI pixel art generator?
It makes pixel art for you. Type what you want, like a knight with a sword, and the AI draws it in a retro pixel art look. You do not need to know how to draw.
Is the AI pixel art generator free?
You can try it for free. Sign up and you get free tokens, with no card needed. They work on every image model. One picture costs from 1 token, and the price depends on the model you pick. When your tokens run out, plans start at $19, paid one time. Yearly plans are 20% off.
Do I need an app or an account?
No app. It works online in your browser, on a phone or a computer. To make pixel art here you need a free account. With no account at all, the free image generator on our text to image page makes 3 pictures a day, and you can type a pixel art prompt there too.
How do I get the 8 bit or 16 bit look?
Say it in your prompt. Write 8 bit pixel art for big blocks and only a few colors, like old arcade games. Write 16 bit pixel art for smaller blocks and more colors. The buttons at the top of this page add these words for you.
What makes a good pixel art prompt?
Name one main thing first. Then say what it is doing and where it is. Then add the look, like 16 bit pixel art, and a plain background if you want a sprite. Short and clear is best.
Can I make sprites for my game?
Yes. Ask for one character or one item on a plain background, for example a knight with a sword, side view, plain white background. Then cut the background out with the background remover.
Is it real pixel art I can put straight into a game?
It looks like pixel art, but the AI makes a big picture, not a tiny 32 pixel sprite, and the blocks are not always on a perfect grid. For a game, shrink it to your sprite size in your art app with nearest neighbor scaling, so the pixels stay sharp.
Can I get a transparent background?
Not straight from the generator. Ask for a plain background in your prompt, then use our free background remover. It does 3 pictures a day with no account.
Can I turn my photo into pixel art?
Yes. Open the AI image editor, upload your photo, tap Style and pick Pixel Art. It costs 7 to 20 tokens, depending on the model you pick. It is AI, so check that the face still looks right before you share it.
Can I use my pixel art in a game or a shop?
Yes. You own what you make and can use it for personal or commercial work, like a game you sell or items in your shop. You are responsible for what you create and for any photo you upload. Read section 6 of the Terms for the exact words.
Is there a watermark?
No. You get the picture the AI makes, with nothing stamped on it.
Can I make my pixel art move?
Yes. Image to video turns your picture into a short clip, with your pixel art as the first frame. Video is not free. It is paid from your wallet, which starts at zero on a new account, and you see the price before you make one.
