AI pixel art
VFX generator.
Generate animated pixel art spells, slashes and explosions for 2D games. Refine the motion with Smith, then export transparent sprite sheets or a Godot 4 pack.
Pixel effects at game scale
Watch a sword slash, a quarry blast, and a healing spell at game scale. Look for the moment each effect tells you what happened.
Sword slash
The blade trail shows the reach of the swing. Sparks and a brief pause mark the hit.
Edit a sword slash before export
Scrub to the impact frame, then adjust the arc, color, and playback speed. Your export uses the settings below.
Create pixel VFX with Codex or Claude Code
Connect the official skill and ask for an effect in context. In this demo, the sentinel’s casting motion cues a lightning strike.
“Make a pixel sentinel that calls down lightning. Preview it in the arena.”
- Connect MCP and install the official skill
- Prepare the character and its attack timing
- Attach the lightning effect and preview

From a brief to a game asset
Describe and generate
Set the action, palette, canvas size and impact timing. Start from a free library effect or your own brief. Opening a draft never starts a paid run.
Refine and keep versions
Ask Smith to change the silhouette, color or motion in the same project. Compare saved versions and organize the results in My assets.
Export and test in game
Download a transparent PNG sprite sheet with animation JSON, PNG frames, a GIF or a Godot 4 pack. Check scale, pivot and timing with the Godot guide or sprite sheet guide.
Library downloads, manual edits and exports are free. AI generation uses credits; review plans and credit rules before starting. Library assets keep their MIT notices.
