FAQ
Can PixelLab export assets directly into Unity or Godot?▼
Yes. The exported sprite sheets and individual frames are fully compatible with Unity, Godot, and most engines. You can choose from common layout presets or customize the frame arrangement.
Does the Aseprite plugin modify my existing project files?▼
No. The plugin adds a new panel within Aseprite and works non-destructively. Generated sprites are inserted as new layers or separate files without altering your existing artwork.
Is PixelLab usable offline?▼
The web version requires an internet connection for AI inference. However, the Aseprite plugin can cache certain models for limited offline use after initial authentication.
What resolution limits apply to generated sprites?▼
PixelLab supports up to 256x256 pixels per frame, which covers common sprite sizes (16x16, 32x32, 64x64). You can also upscale results with style preservation using the built-in upscaler.
