What it does
Retro Diffusion is an AI tool that generates pixel art for games, characters, sprites, tilesets, UI kits, and animations. It offers several models, including RD Pro, RD Plus, RD Fast, and Animations. Users can edit results in the same editor, use reference images for consistent characters, and build custom styles. A free Pixel Art Fixer runs in the browser without signup. Developers can access models and tools through an HTTP API.
New accounts start with free balance for dozens of generations with RD Fast, and no payment details are required. Pricing is pay per generation from a prepaid balance, with images starting at $0.03. The exact price is shown before generating, and failed generations are refunded automatically. Output sizes range from 16x16 icons to 384x384 scenes, depending on the style. Generated art can be used for personal and commercial projects. The site also lists a hosted MCP server and setup guides on GitHub.
