PixelLab

PixelLab is an AI generator for pixel art game assets. It enables indie game developers to create unique pixel art 10 times faster than manual methods.

The platform supports generation of characters, environments, maps, tilesets, textures, and user interface components including buttons, health bars, and menu items. Animation features include one-click animations, skeleton-based controls, and text prompt animation to produce walking, running, attacking, and custom animations for sprite sheets. It can also animate entire scenes to create animated environments, storytelling sequences, and dynamic backgrounds from text descriptions.

Rotation tools generate 4 or 8 directional views of characters and objects with a single click, supporting isometric and top-down games. Users can upload concept art and optional reference sprites to convert them into consistent game-ready rotations. Style consistency is maintained by adapting to reference images across sprites. True inpainting allows style-matched edits such as changing clothes, adding accessories, or modifying environments. Additional capabilities cover detailed pixel art scene generation for atmospheric backgrounds and game worlds, plus creation of maps, tilesets, and texture assets for top-down and side-scrolling games with a spritesheet generator that produces consistent tiles.

PixelLab runs on cloud GPUs and works on Windows, Mac, and Linux without requiring high-performance local hardware. It does not store generated or input images unless explicitly stated in the tool or documentation. The service is used by more than 3,000 indie game developers.
