Make sprites with transparent backgrounds

Transparent backgrounds let a sprite sit on top of any scene, tile, UI panel, or game object without a visible box around it.

Useful for game engines

PNG sprites are easy to import into Godot, Unity, web games, and custom tools. A transparent file is usually the simplest asset handoff for prototypes.

Draw or generate your asset

Start from a blank canvas when you know the shape, or generate an AI starter sprite when you want a quick draft to edit.

Clean up the edges by hand

Edge cleanup is especially important for generated sprites. Remove stray background pixels, tighten the outline, and make sure the silhouette stays readable.

Export PNG and continue elsewhere

After cleanup, export a PNG and continue in your game engine, Aseprite, Photoshop, or another professional workflow.
