AI Pixel Art Animation Generator

Turn a sprite into an idle, walk or attack loop, or describe a character and get a walk cycle. Every frame is scaled back to your sprite's own pixel size, so the result stays pixel art instead of a blurry video.

How it works

Start from your sprite or from a prompt. Use one of your images (or upload one) as the first frame, or describe a character and let a walk-cycle model draw it from scratch.
Describe the motion and pick a model. Breathing idle, walking, a sword swing, a spell, a flame flicker: write it in the prompt. Faster models are cheaper; slower ones give smoother motion.
Export it for your game. Download the loop as a GIF, WebP or MP4, or as a sprite sheet PNG with the columns and spacing you choose.

What you can animate

Animate an existing sprite

Image-to-animation models keep your character and add the motion: idle loops, attacks, casting, effects. The Pixie Sprite model returns a sprite sheet directly, with 64 px frames.

Walk cycles from a prompt

Dedicated walk-cycle models draw a 96×96 character with walking and idle loops, or a four-direction walk, from text alone. Useful when you don't have a sprite yet.

See every frame

Most animations in the gallery have a frame-by-frame breakdown and a sprite sheet view, so you can check timing and poses before you make your own.

Formats and credits

Animation: GIF, WebP or MP4.
Sprite sheet: PNG, with configurable columns and spacing; open the frame breakdown of any animation from its page.
Price: 15 to 90 credits per animation, by model. 50 free credits on signup.

Questions

Can AI animate pixel art without breaking the pixels?

The motion is generated at high resolution and then every frame is scaled back to your sprite's pixel size, with its palette, so you get crisp pixel art frames rather than a smeared video.

Do I need to draw the first frame?

No. You can start from one of your sprites, upload an image, or use a walk-cycle model that draws the character from a text prompt.

Can I get a sprite sheet for my game engine?

Yes. Any animation can be downloaded as a sprite sheet PNG with the columns and spacing you set, which you can slice in your engine. GIF, WebP and MP4 are there for previews and posts.

How much does it cost?

Each animation costs 15 to 90 credits depending on the model. New accounts start with 50 free credits.
