UnitForge Web Pixel Art Character Generator

Left = preview, right = parts panel

The assembled character animates in real time on the left canvas. Everything — part selection, colors, adjustments, export — is operated from the right panel. The character faces left by default and all actions (attack, move) are left-oriented.

Swap parts with the dropdowns

Select Body, Hair, Helmet, Armor, Boots, Weapon and Shield individually. Choose None to unequip. In the list, ★ marks custom parts stored in this browser.

The + button on the right uploads a custom part (see section 6).

Coloring (hair)

Categories with a color swatch can be tinted. White (#ffffff) is the original color.

X/Y = position (px), R = tilt (degrees)

• X: horizontal (+ right), Y: vertical (+ down) — ±8px, 1px steps
• R: tilt — weapons & shields only, ±90°, 15° steps
• The weapon pivots around its grip and the shield around its center — the part stays in hand and the tilt carries into attack animations naturally

Sealed / Eyes visible / Open

• Sealed: face fully covered (default)
• Eyes visible: helmet shape intact, face shows only through the visor slit
• Open: the whole face window opens — the helmet's interior is visible when worn alone

Applies only to closed-type helmets (marked "Closed"); caps and open helmets are unaffected.

Preview five motions

IDLE, MOVE, ATTACK, DAMAGED and DEATH play in real time. Use ↔ Flip to mirror the facing and ⏸ Pause to freeze a moment.

Equipping a bow or a firearm adds a dedicated attack (BOW_ATTACK / PISTOL_ATTACK) to the list — it disappears when you switch to another weapon.

Equip parts you drew yourself

Press the + button on any category to open the upload dialog and follow the spec shown there. Key rules:

• Canvas is 32×32 dots — you may draw at N× scale (recommended 8× = 256×256, 1 dot = N×N block). Coordinates are always in dots
• Weapon: grip at dot (23,23), blade pointing right (+x)
• Hats/helmets (cap type): keep the face area empty (intruding pixels are auto-removed)
• Closed helmets: paint the eye area pure black #000000 and the three visor modes are generated automatically (use near-black like #0A0A0A for outlines)
• Use 📥 Download sample to get a correctly formatted example

Only PNG files are accepted and the file content is verified. You can drop multiple files at once (file name = part name). Uploaded parts appear with ★ and support adjustment, animation and export just like built-in parts.

Select a custom part in the list and a 🗑 button appears to delete it.

Keep your parts when the browser is cleared

Custom parts live only in this browser (★). Nothing is uploaded anywhere, and no account is needed — but clearing your browser data deletes them.

⬇ Export backup in the footer saves every custom part into a single .json file. ⬆ Import backup reads it back — on this machine or any other. Importing merges rather than overwrites, so re-importing the same file twice is safe.

Single PNG / sprite sheets

• Export PNG: one still IDLE pose (192×192)
• Export Sheet: 8 frames of the animation chosen in "Sheet target" (48×48 native pixels per frame)
• Choosing All stacks the available animations as rows in one sheet (e.g. 384×240 for 5)
• Export for Godot: a ready-to-use sprite sheet + SpriteFrames (.tres) + optional scene (.tscn) for Godot 4 — drop them in your project and it plays
• Part adjustments, tilt and facing are reflected in exports
• The red dashed box on the stage shows the export frame — pixels outside it are clipped

The Monsters tab is a ready-made bestiary — 17 creatures across many rig types (large humanoids, slimes, ghosts, bats, four-legged beasts, bugs, a mushroom, a mimic, a serpent). Pick one, choose a color (preset swatch or any color — applied to exports too), preview its 5 animations, and export a PNG or sheet just like a character.

• Monsters are single-piece rigs — no equipment slots
• DEATH plays once and holds the final pose

The Character Editor lets you draw a custom part pixel by pixel, or load an existing one and edit it. Pen / eraser / fill / eyedropper, a palette, undo·redo (Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y), right-click to erase.

• Pick a category, then Load a base to edit or start from “— New —”
• The faint body is a placement guide; red dashes = face window (auto-cleared for caps), blue cross = grip/center anchor
• Everything faces the same left direction as the Character tab; the preview shows the equipped result live. Adjust X/Y shifts the part in both views; R (tilt) is applied to the preview and the saved part only — the drawing canvas always stays upright and axis-aligned so one pixel is always one square on the grid
• Save as part adds it to the Character tab's list (★ this browser) — the same pipeline as upload, so ground-rules (face window, closed-helmet 3 modes) apply automatically
