PixelLab

Key Features

• Text-to-Pixel Art Generation

  Generate characters, items, environments, and UI elements from text descriptions, with results that respect pixel art conventions — no mixels or transparency issues common in general-purpose image generators.

• Directional Rotation

  Automatically produce 4 or 8 directional views of characters and objects from a single input, supporting top-down, isometric, and side-scrolling game formats.

• Skeleton-Based & Text Animation

  Animate sprites using skeleton controls or plain text prompts describing movement — walking, running, attacking, and custom sequences — with output ready for sprite sheets.

• True Inpainting & Style Consistency

  Edit specific parts of an image while preserving the original style. Reference-image-based generation ensures new assets visually match existing game art across characters, environments, and objects.

• Environment & Tileset Generation

  Create detailed scenes, game maps, and seamlessly tiling tilesets for both top-down and side-scrolling games, including isometric map support and texture generation up to 400×400 pixels.

• Aseprite & IDE Integration

  Works as a native Aseprite plugin for local workflows, supports Pixelorama for browser-based editing, and connects with AI coding tools like Claude Code or Cursor via MCP for in-IDE asset generation.
