Upload a photo and get a quality, game-ready character sprite in minutes — a 4-direction walk-cycle pack that drops straight into Godot, Unity, or the web. $5 a character. The founder’s own photo, run through the exact $5 pipeline you’d use: one clear photo in, a recognizable walking character out. “For five bucks… the fact that the feet are already aligned saved me hours of tedious editing.” Jensen, Elon, Warren & Leopold each started as a single photo and came back a full character pack — 4×4 sprite sheet, 16 transparent frames, engine-ready strips, looping walk GIFs.

  I built an Free AI tool to generate pixel art from text descriptions2025 · pixelateimage.org · ▲21

  Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
