AI pixel art generator you can edit by hand

Generate a pixel-art starter sprite

Describe a small asset, choose a canvas size, and generate a draft. The result is meant to give you a starting point for shape, color, and composition.

Choose small sprite sizes

Small sizes keep the asset editable. Use 16x16 for tiny icons, 32x32 for small characters and items, 64x64 for larger sprites, and 128x128 for bigger drafts or scenes.

Edit the result by hand

Manual cleanup is the key workflow. Fix silhouettes, remove extra pixels, adjust outlines, choose better colors, and make the sprite fit your game style.

Remove background and export PNG

Transparent backgrounds matter for game assets. Pixelart.to is designed around background-removed sprites and PNG export so assets can be placed over any scene.

Useful for game jams and prototypes

AI starter sprites are useful for placeholders, item icons, enemies, NPC drafts, and UI symbols when speed matters but you still want control over the final pixels.

Example Prompts

• 16x16 red health potion, transparent background
• 32x32 slime enemy, simple palette
• 32x32 front-facing knight character, transparent background
• 64x64 cozy cottage, simple pixel-art style
• 128x128 forest background, limited palette

How It Works

1. Choose a canvas size such as 16x16, 32x32, 64x64, or 128x128.
2. Draw from a blank canvas or generate a starter sprite.
3. Edit the pixels by hand with layers, palettes, and simple tools.
4. Export a PNG and continue in your game engine or professional workflow.
