Getting Started
Generate your first pixel art in under a minute with spritesynth's AI-powered tools.
Quick Start
- Sign up — Create a free account at spritesynth.com. You get 40 fast generations (lifetime, never expire) and 5 slower generations every day on the free tier.
- Generate — Enter a text prompt, pick a model (Pixflux for speed, Pixen for quality, Bitforge for balance), and hit Generate.
- Export — Download your sprite as PNG, embed it in a sprite sheet, or export directly for Unity, Godot, Aseprite, or Tiled.
Generate Your First Sprite
Type a description, choose a model, and click Generate. Results appear in seconds.
The generation panel — type a prompt, select your model, and hit Generate.
What You Get
Each generation produces a pixel art sprite at your chosen resolution. You can then:
- Open it in the pixel art editor for hand-tweaking
- Add it to a character, object, or tileset for game engine export
- Download it directly as PNG
A 32x32 knight sprite generated with Pixflux in under 2 seconds.
Feature Highlights
Multiple AI Models
Choose from three specialized models, each tuned for different trade-offs:
| Model | Speed | Quality | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pixflux | Fast | Good | Rapid iteration, prototyping |
| Pixen | Moderate | High | Final production assets |
| Bitforge | Balanced | Balanced | General-purpose use |
Watch: Pixflux vs Pixen vs Bitforge generating the same knight sprite. Notice the quality progression.
Character, Tileset & Object Generation
Generate complete game assets — not just single images:
- Characters — Multi-directional sprites with idle, walk, attack, and hurt states.
- Tilesets — Top-down, sidescroller, or isometric tiles sized to your game's grid.
- Objects — Props, items, and environmental assets with state variations.
A 4-directional character with idle, walk, and attack states — generated in one request.
