AI pixel art generator using GPT-image, vision algorithms and prompt engineering

I’m a solo dev and just launched pixel-gen.ai, a tool that lets you generate high-quality pixel art using AI. It uses OpenAI’s new gpt-image API, image processing algorithms and clever prompt engineering to get crisp, game-ready (pixel-perfect) sprites, icons, etc.

You can generate images without login (but get x10 more credits if you sign up).

Unlike most AI tools that churn out blurry or style-inconsistent results, this one focuses entirely on clean, grid-aligned, retro-style output suitable for actual use in 2D games. You can generate in three quality modes (low, medium, high), with results optimized for readability at small sizes.

You don’t need to create an account to try it—your browser starts with 10 free credits for instant generation. Just type a prompt like “mighty knight in red silver armor holding a enchanted sword” or “cyberpunk knight sprite” and it outputs a PNG. If you run out of credits, join our Discord to ask for more and sharing prompts, feedback, and showcasing results.

Curious to hear what this crowd thinks — any feedback welcome.
