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.

Who owns the pixel art I make?

You do — what you create is yours. See our Terms of Service for details. Copyright treatment of AI-made assets varies by country; we can't offer legal advice, so check with an expert on specific commercial questions.
