2D Character Sprite Generator
An AI sprite maker for characters: generate heroes, enemies and NPCs in any art style, visually consistent as a cast, posable, and exported as clean transparent sprites.
What is an AI 2D character sprite generator?
An AI 2D character sprite generator creates original game characters, like heroes, enemies and NPCs, from a text prompt, then animates them with walk, run, idle and attack cycles. Ludo generates consistent 2D character sprites in 32 art styles and exports packed, engine-ready sprite sheets for Unity, Godot and GameMaker.

Describe the character
Role, look and gear, plus an art style and perspective.
Iterate on variations
Refine the prompt, or use a previous character as the style reference.
Pose, animate, export
New poses, animation presets, transparent PNGs or sheets.
What devs build with it
A consistent cast
Generate one character, then use it as the style anchor for the rest: the adventurer, shopkeeper and guard here all come from one anchor. The whole roster, drawn by the same artist.
Style exploration
The same knight princess in 16-bit, chibi and hand-painted. See your protagonist in every style before locking the art direction.
FAQ
Which art styles are supported?
32 styles, including 8-Bit and 16-Bit pixel art, cartoon, anime/manga, chibi, hand-painted, watercolor, flat design, low poly, voxel and claymation.
Can all my characters share one style?
Yes. Generate with a style reference image and new characters match its palette, line weight and proportions.
Do sprites come with transparent backgrounds?
Yes, characters export as transparent PNGs ready to drop into your engine, with background removal built in.
Can I animate the characters afterwards?
Yes. Animate any character with a motion prompt, drawn keyframes, a reference video or one of 641 presets, up to 5 seconds and 64 frames, and Hydra animations come back with a matching sound effect. You can also upload your own character image and animate it.
Can my character face other directions?
Yes. Change Pose & Direction restages a character in a new pose or turns it to any of 8 camera angles, and New Direction re-renders a finished animation facing the new way, with its motion and timing kept.

Yes. You own the characters you generate with Ludo and can use them however you like, including in commercial games.
