How does the AI generate pixel art?

You describe a concept (e.g. 'a koi fish swimming'). The AI designs each frame on a 32x32 grid using numbered color slots (0=transparent, 1=color-1, etc.). It thinks through all frames at once to maintain consistency, then the browser renders the grid data into an animated GIF.

What resolution is the output GIF?

The AI works on a 32x32 logical grid. Each pixel is scaled 8x for a 256x256 pixel GIF output, rendered with crisp pixel-art scaling (no blur).

Can I use the GIF commercially?

Yes. The pixel art is generated by AI based on your concept. You are free to use the output GIF however you like.

Pro Tips

Be specific about motion — "a koi fish swimming with tail waving" works better than "a fish".
2-3 colors give the cleanest results — more colors can cause small inconsistencies. Start simple.
6-8 frames for smooth loops — more frames = longer AI generation time. 8 is the sweet spot.
Regenerate if the first result isn't perfect — AI is creative but non-deterministic. Try again with the same concept.
Use contrasting colors — adjacent colors on the palette (e.g. two similar blues) make the pixel art hard to read.
