Questions
Is pixie.haus free?
You get 50 free credits when you sign up, with no card needed. The fastest image models cost 1 to 3 credits per image, so you can try several models before you decide. After that you top up with credit packs.
How is this different from ChatGPT or other AI image generators?
General image models draw "pixel-style" pictures at high resolution: the pixels are blurry, uneven and inconsistent in size. pixie.haus snaps every result to a true pixel grid at its native size, so one pixel really is one pixel, with clean edges and an optional fixed palette. The result can go straight into a game engine.
What sizes and formats can I export?
Pick 32x32, 64x64 or 128x128, or Auto, which detects the image's native pixel grid and keeps it. Images download as PNG, WebP or JPG, with a transparent background if you want one. Animations download as GIF, WebP or MP4, or as a sprite sheet.
Can it animate sprites?
Yes. Start from a still sprite, describe the motion (walking, idle breathing, an attack), and pixie.haus turns it into a looping pixel art animation that you can export as a GIF or a sprite sheet. See AI pixel art animation for the models, formats and examples.
Can I convert an image to pixel art?
Yes. Upload a sketch, a 3D render or a photo as a reference, and it is redrawn as pixel art on the grid, at the size and palette you choose.
