EACH ONE FROM A SHORT PROMPT

Not just raw output

Most AI pixel art generators hand you the model's raw image and leave the cleanup to you. SpriteLab treats that image as a starting point. Every generation runs through a real post-processing pipeline before you ever see it, so what lands on screen is already usable.

CLEAN BY DEFAULT

Background removal, palette quantisation, anti-alias cleanup and a rebuilt 1px outline on every sprite. Transparent PNG, ready to drop into your engine.

RETUNE FOR FREE

Colours, palette, contrast, outline thickness and colour, dithering, silhouette tweaks. All adjustable after generation, all free. No re-rolling to fix a look.

MADE FOR GAMES

Exact sizes, facing directions, sprite packs, animation and SVG or PNG export. A built-in pixel editor for the last few pixels by hand.

The pipeline is the difference

Here is the same reference before and after a SpriteLab redraw. Same subject, but cleaned: background removed, downscaled with no smearing, palette quantised and a fresh 1px outline rebuilt from scratch.

How it works

Describe it

Type what you want, like "a knight with a blue cape" or "a health potion". Pick a size from small icons up to 256px, and a facing direction if you need one.

Generate

A clean sprite comes back in around 20 seconds. Want options? Generate four variations at once and keep the one you like.

Tune and export

Nudge the colours, palette or outline with the free tuning panel, then download as a transparent PNG or SVG, or send it to animation.

FAQ

Is the pixel art generator free to use?

Yes. You get 25 credits on signup plus 5 more every day on the free tier, with no card needed. A basic generation costs 1 credit, and tuning the result afterwards is always free.

What can the generator make?

Characters, enemies, items, props and icons, from a plain text description. Sizes run from small icons up to 256px, and you can pick a facing direction or generate four variations at once.

Do the sprites have transparent backgrounds?

Yes. Every sprite is a transparent PNG with the background keyed out, a rebuilt 1px outline and a limited palette, so it drops straight into a game engine.

Can I use the sprites in my game, including commercially?

Yes, you can use generated sprites in your projects, including commercial ones. On paid tiers your generations are private to your account.

Can I change the colours or outline after generating?

Yes, and it is free. The tuning panel changes colours, palette, contrast, outline and dithering after generation. It re-runs locally in seconds and never spends credits.

Does it do animation and sprite sheets?

Yes. Generate or upload a sprite, describe the motion, and you get an animated sprite sheet plus a GIF. You can also generate matching sprite packs in a single generation.
