I built PixelForge because it should be much easier to put a real person in a game than hiring an artist, wrestling with prompts, or settling for a generic avatar.
PixelForge lets you upload a photo and turn one into a game-style character in just seconds – useful for indie games, mockups, profile art, gifts, RPG characters, and honestly just making your friends look like they’re in a mini boss fight.
What makes it fun:
– Upload a real photo
– Generate a stylized game character
– Use style references to control the look
– Iterate faster instead of starting from scratch
– Create something personal, not generic AI carelessness
It’s still early, so I’d love feedback from designers, game developers, pixel art fans, and anyone who’s ever wanted to see themselves as a playable character.
What should we add next: sprite sheets, animations, more styles, or game-engine exports?
