Frequently Asked Questions

16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64, 96x96, and 128x128 pixel grids, plus larger custom sizes.

Yes! Choose retro palettes (NES, SNES, Game Boy) or specify custom color limitations.

Absolutely. Prompts include sprite-ready considerations for both static and animated pixel art.

Pixel art is resolution-independent and scales perfectly using nearest-neighbor interpolation. A 32x32 sprite can be cleanly scaled to 256x256 or larger without blur.

Yes, all generated pixel art prompts produce original designs. You own the rights to artwork created from these prompts for commercial game releases.

Stable Diffusion with pixel art LoRA models produces the most authentic results. Midjourney can create pixel art with style parameters. DALL-E 3 handles simple sprites well.

Yes, specify exact color counts like 4-color Game Boy palette, 16-color NES palette, or any custom limit. This ensures authentic retro aesthetics.

Specify the exact grid size, mention "pixel art" and "sprite" explicitly, reference a specific era (8-bit, 16-bit), and keep designs simple with clear silhouettes for small sprites.

PNG is the standard for pixel art as it uses lossless compression and preserves every pixel perfectly. Never use JPG for pixel art as it introduces compression artifacts.

Free users can generate pixel art prompts daily with usage limits. Premium plans offer unlimited generations, ideal for game developers creating full sprite sheets.

Describe your animation sequence such as walk cycle, attack animation, or idle animation. Generate individual frames and assemble them into sprite sheets in your game engine.

Manual pixel art offers precise control but takes hours per sprite. Our generator creates detailed prompts in seconds, perfect for rapid prototyping and concept exploration before manual refinement.
