pixie.haus is a specialized AI platform for creating high-quality pixel art, game sprites, and animations. It offers multiple creative modes and a curated set of models, designed for everyone from beginners to professional game developers.

Yes! Every new user receives 50 free credits upon signing up. This is enough to experiment with our fastest models, test different prompts, and see the quality of the pixel art you can create before you decide to buy a credit package.

All purchases are one-time. We sell credit packages that you can use at your own pace. There are no monthly fees or recurring subscriptions, and your credits never expire.

Credits are used for all generative actions. The number of assets you can create depends on the model's cost. For example, a small package could get you dozens of sprites with our fastest models (like Schnell at 3 credits) or several high-quality animations with a state-of-the-art model (like Seedance-1-Pro-Fast at 55 credits).

Credits are only deducted for successful generations; if a technical error occurs, your credits are safe. While credit package purchases are non-refundable, we want you to get value. The nature of AI involves experimentation, so some results may not be perfect. We encourage you to check our public gallery to see the real-world performance of each model before spending a lot of credits.

You own the rights to the original pixel art you generate and can use it for any personal or commercial project. If you generate art of trademarked characters (e.g., Pokémon), you are responsible for adhering to copyright laws, which typically limits use to non-commercial fan art.

pixie.haus offers four dedicated modes: 'Picture' (generate from text), 'Animation' (animate a reference image with a prompt), 'Edit Image' (create variations of a reference image), and 'Upload Image' (upload your own art to use as a starting point).

Our platform is optimized for creating game-ready sprites. By default, the 'Remove Background' option is enabled to generate clean assets with transparent backgrounds. For best results, use a prompt describing only the character or item. If you want to create a full scene, simply disable this option in the generation settings.

You can generate pixel art in 128x128, 64x64, and 32x32 resolutions. - **128x128** offers the best quality and consistency. - **64x64** is great for rapid creation but may require manual refinements. - **32x32** is experimental and best for very simple objects. Regardless of the generation size, you can always download clean, upscaled versions from the 'Export Settings'.

All animations require a first-frame image. You can either generate one using 'Picture' mode or upload your own art via the 'Upload' tab. Then, in 'Animation' mode, you provide a prompt to guide the motion. Using a first frame with a transparent background will result in a sprite sheet animation with a transparent background.

We offer a curated range of top-tier models for pixel art: - **Prunaai:** Best balance of quality, speed, and price; great for consistency. - **Schnell:** The fastest model, perfect for quick results with a unique style. - **Gemini Nano Banana:** Unmatched at understanding complex concepts and is the best for editing images. - **Imagen 4 & 3 Fast:** Delivers a mature style with high consistency and quality.

**Seedance-1-Pro-Fast** is highly recommended. It is a state-of-the-art model offering fantastic consistency at a very low price, making it ideal for generating fluid sprite animations.

The public gallery allows you to showcase your creations, earn tips in credits, and receive feedback. When you publish an image, other users can also 'collect' it, which grants them the right to use your creation as well.
