Pixel art, sprites to scenes
Name the era (8-bit, 16-bit), the palette and the view (side-on sprite, top-down tile, isometric scene), and the model draws it in pixel style; Nano Banana 2.1 can also turn a photo into pixel art. Image models paint the look of pixels rather than an exact grid, so scale the result down with nearest-neighbor for crisp pixels. Each image is priced before you generate.

A character sprite sheet
16-bit pixel art sprite sheet of a small knight with a red cape: four frames of a walk cycle in a row, side view, limited 16-color palette, crisp pixels, plain light grey background.
A cozy game scene
16-bit pixel art scene of a cozy village at dusk: wooden houses with glowing windows, a stone well, fireflies, warm orange and deep blue palette, side-scrolling game view, crisp pixels.
How to get good results
- Name the era and the palette size ("16-bit, 16 colors") and the view.
- For game assets, ask for a plain background so each sprite is easy to cut out.
- Scale the image down with nearest-neighbor to snap it to a real pixel grid, then up again for display.
- Keep a character the same across sprites by reusing one image as a reference on Nano Banana 2.1.

Can I use the sprites in my game?
What you make is yours to use, commercially included, within each model's terms.
Do I need a subscription?
No. You top up a balance and pay per image; top-up credit never expires.
