From the maker
Picxel helps indie game developers redraw references as recognizable game assets. GPT interprets the subject and directs the redraw; local algorithms turn the result into a precise pixel grid. Developed and tested primarily with GPT in Codex. Export transparent 32×32, 64×64 or 128×128 PNGs, with up to 16 colors per sprite. Use single-image reveal previews or batches of up to 20 images, in an English or Chinese panel.
