SpriteBrew
What it is
SpriteBrew is a web tool for generating pixel art characters and animated sprite sheets from text descriptions or uploaded artwork. Its maker describes 21 AI styles grouped across five categories. You can also upload existing pixel art and create frame-based animations such as walks, attacks, idles, and jumps. Sprite detection uses contour detection, so sheets do not need a grid layout. The pixel editor includes a pencil, eraser, eyedropper, undo, redo, and editing up to 16× zoom. Exports include TexturePacker, Aseprite, GameMaker, RPG Maker, Godot, and raw frames; exported sheets are supported by Unity, Godot, GameMaker, and RPG Maker. Free editing tools work without an account, while AI generation requires sign-up. The free plan includes a slicer, editor, background removal, and six export formats. Paid token plans start at $4.99, paid once. The privacy policy says generated images are not stored on SpriteBrew servers and user data is not used to train AI models. Users own generated sprites and may use them commercially.
