Overview

Pixelfy is an AI-powered application for generating pixel art images. It is built to help users create professional-looking pixel art for creative projects using AI models.

Features

Prompt builder

Use an AI-powered prompt builder to help shape image prompts before generation, which can reduce trial-and-error when describing a scene or character.

Grid size control

Choose grid sizes from 16x16, 32x32, 64x64, or 128x128 to match the level of detail you want in the final pixel art.

Advanced tuning

Adjust sampling steps and prompt guidance through advanced options to influence how the model interprets your prompt.

Background removal

Remove the background from the generated subject when you want an isolated sprite or asset.

Reference image input

Upload reference images to steer the generation toward a specific look, pose, or composition.

Color palette control

Constrain the image to a specific color palette for more consistent styling and asset reuse.

Use Cases

  • Game and scene backgrounds

    Generate backgrounds such as snowy peaks, cabin scenes, or landscapes for games, prototypes, or illustrative assets.

  • Character and enemy concepts

    Create fantasy or sci-fi sprite art, including character concepts and themed enemies or units.

  • Icons, skills, and portraits

    Produce small-format skill icons, effects, or portraits where a controlled pixel grid and palette matter.

  • Style-constrained asset generation

    Iterate on assets using reference images and palette controls when you need the result to stay visually consistent with existing art.
