SpriteSheetMaker
SpriteSheetMaker is a web-based AI tool for generating and animating pixel-art game sprites. It allows users to create sprites from text prompts, specifying perspective, direction, size, and outline. The tool can animate a single sprite into a consistent frame sequence by choosing actions like run or attack, setting frame count, and previewing motion. It exports assets in PNG, GIF, and JSON formats. It supports integration with game engines such as Unity, Godot, RPG Maker, GameMaker, and Unreal Engine. A free plan is available, and no art skills are required. It also includes a pixel editor for manual adjustments.
