SpriteCook

What is SpriteCook

SpriteCook is an AI-powered tool for generating consistent pixel art game assets and animations. It enables game developers to create characters, items, tilesets, and animated sprite sheets in a unified style, compatible with engines like Unity and Godot. With SpriteCook, you can describe the asset you need, and the AI will draw it, ensuring hard pixels on a real grid for sharpness at any size.

How to use SpriteCook

1. Describe your asset: Enter a prompt like "Gilded knight walking spritesheet" in the provided text area.
2. Add a reference image (optional): Use the "Add image" button to upload a reference image (PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, AVIF).
3. Generate: Click "Start creating" to generate your asset.
4. Animate: For animations, start with a still image, describe the motion (e.g., "Water flowing, with gentle splashes and ripples"), and generate the animation.
5. Export: Download the generated sprite sheets, tilesets, or individual sprites with transparent backgrounds, ready to drop into your game engine.
