Frequently asked questions
How does the AI pixel art generator work?
Describe what you want in a few words, or upload a photo, and pick one of 48 pixel styles — 8-bit, 16-bit, handheld, isometric, and more. The AI renders your idea as pixel art in seconds. From there you can edit it with plain-English instructions, upscale it, or animate it into a short pixel video.
Is PXLART free?
Yes — sign in with Google and get 2 free credits. A standard pixel artwork costs 1 credit. To keep creating, plans start at $9/month for 250 credits, and one-time credit packs are available too.
Can I turn a photo into pixel art?
Absolutely. Upload any photo — a selfie, a pet, a landscape — choose a style like 16-bit or Handheld, and the AI converts it into pixel art while keeping the subject recognizable.
Can I make pixel art animations?
Yes. Generate a pixel video straight from a text prompt, or animate any artwork you've created into a short clip — 4 to 15 seconds, up to 1080p, with optional audio.
Can I use the pixel art in my game?
You own what you create and can use it for personal and commercial projects, including games, streams, and merch. See our Terms of Service for details.
