Pixel art animation generator

Upload a sprite (or make one here), describe the motion, and get a looping animation back as a sprite sheet and a GIF. The original colours and outline are kept, and you can trim frames and retune the cleanup afterwards without paying again.

A pixel art slime sprite animated by SpriteLab, bouncing in a short loop

From one sprite to a sprite sheet

  1. Bring a sprite: upload a PNG or animate anything you made in SpriteLab with one click.
  2. Describe the motion: "idle breathing", "walk cycle facing right", "swings sword". Short prompts get an optional rewrite into something the model follows better.
  3. Frame it: drag to pad the canvas if the motion needs room (a sword swing, a jump) before you generate.
  4. Export a horizontal sprite sheet, a GIF, or single frames.

Clean up without re-generating

The viewer plays the loop frame by frame. Switch off any frame you don't want and it's cut from the sheet and the GIF. Background cleanup, halo removal, outline thickness and colour, and playback speed are all adjustable after the fact, for free.

Whole packs and turnarounds

Animate a whole sprite pack in one go and split it into per-sprite animations, or animate a 4-direction rotation so every facing moves together.

Frequently asked questions

What sizes can I animate?

Sprites up to 256 pixels on the long side on the standard engine, and up to 320 on Pro, with an aspect ratio between 1:2 and 2:1.

What do I get back?

A horizontal sprite sheet PNG, an animated GIF, and single frames if you want them. Sheets drop straight into Godot's AnimatedSprite2D or Unity's sprite slicer.

Does it keep my sprite's colours?

Yes. The cleanup is matched to your sprite's own palette, and the outline is rebuilt at the end, so the animation looks like the sprite you uploaded.

Can I remove bad frames?

Yes. Click a frame in the strip to disable it and it's trimmed from both the sheet and the GIF. Nothing is lost; switch it back on any time.

How much does an animation cost?

20 credits for a standard animation and 30 on Pro. Retuning the cleanup, outline and speed afterwards is free.
