Because this template uses 'sharp edges' and a 'pixel-perfect' prompt, the backgrounds are usually solid or high-contrast. You can download the image and use any standard photo editor to select and delete the background color, leaving you with a clean sprite for your game engine.

Base quality (1 credit) is excellent for rapid prototyping of ideas. Ultra quality (16 credits) uses our most advanced model to ensure strict adherence to the 32-color palette and more complex dithering patterns, resulting in a more professional 'finished' game asset look.

You can fully edit the prompt! Simply change '16-bit' to '8-bit' and '32 colors' to '8 colors'. You can also change the preset from PIXEL_ART to any other style, though keeping the pixel-focused prompt instructions is recommended for the best retro results.
