ai pixel art generator for games
Make pixel art sprites for your game
Describe a character, item or prop. Choose 64, 128 or 256 px, a facing direction and a background in Studio. Generation requires an account and paid credits.
Start with one sprite: a knight with a blue cape, a health potion, or a chest with gold trim. Open the Pixel art tool in Summer Studio, describe the subject and choose its size. The tool offers 64, 128 and 256 px, with front, side, back or object facing.
Choose Transparent when you want to place the sprite over your game scene, or Background when the scene belongs in the image. Review the result before downloading it. Check the silhouette, small details and background edges at the size players will see.
Choose a size for the way your game looks
Use the size controls for 64, 128 or 256 px sprites. Choose the same size for assets you want to compare, then check how much of each image the subject fills. A small pickup needs a clear shape more than lots of detail. View your result at its intended display size before adding it to your game.
Describe the subject, view and colors
A useful prompt names one subject and its main visual features. Try "A knight with a blue cape and a round wooden shield, full body, bold dark outline" with Front selected. For an item, try "A glowing red health potion in a small glass bottle, gold stopper, simple highlights" with Object selected. Adjust the prompt after comparing the result with the look of your game.
Check facing and background before you generate
Front faces the camera, Side looks right, Back faces away, and Object has no character-facing direction. Select Transparent for a sprite you plan to place over another image. After generation, check the pose, outline and background against your scene. Compare the proportions with your other sprites before choosing a result.
Download a sprite and test it in your scene
Select a finished result and use Download. Import it into your project and choose the texture filtering and scale that suit your game. Nearest-neighbor filtering can keep pixel edges sharp when you enlarge an image. Test the sprite beside your other assets at the scale players will see.
Build a set one useful piece at a time
Keep notes on the size, colors, outline and perspective you want to repeat. Compare each new sprite with the ones you already selected. For animation frames or level tiles, use the separate sprite-sheet and tileset tools, then check frame alignment or tile edges in your own project. Start with a few pieces your next scene needs, such as a player, a pickup and a prop.
