Common questions about sprite generation, formats, and licensing.

[+] What styles are supported?

Twelve built-in styles in two groups. Pixel art: 16-bit, retro handheld, cozy pixel, dark pixel, and cute pixel. Illustrated: modern cartoon, classic cartoon, action anime, soft anime, chibi, flat vector, and 3D toon. If your description names a style, it’s selected for you; otherwise pick one before you generate.

[+] Do I need to sign in?

No — you can try AI generation for free without an account, behind a quick security check. When the free tries run out, sign up for starter credits and claim more every day with the check-in; signed-in generations skip the security check.

[+] What output formats do I get?

A transparent PNG sprite sheet with 6, 8, or 12 frames. Six and eight frames sit in one row; twelve frames form a 4×3 grid. Choose HD cells or pixel-art cells from 16 to 128 px.

[+] Can I use the sprite sheets commercially?

Yes. Every sprite sheet you generate can be used in commercial games and other products, on any plan, including the free tries.

[+] Is the sprite creator free to use?

Yes. Every visitor can try AI generation for free without an account, and the sprite sheet maker for packing your own frames is free with no limits. When you need more, sign up for starter credits and claim more every day with the check-in.

[+] How long does it take?

Most generations finish in roughly one minute.
