Nine sprite types

Organized the way games are built

Every sprite in the library carries a sprite type that maps to a gameplay role — so engines and level editors can wire behavior automatically. Drop a player sprite into Game Builder Pro and it gets controls. Drop an enemy and it gets AI. Drop a hazard and it damages on contact.

🧍
Players
Hero characters, platformer protagonists, top-down avatars. One per level typically.
👽
Enemies
Creatures with patrol / chase / fly AI. Slimes, bats, ghosts, bosses.
🧱
Blocks
Solid walls and tile terrain. Bricks, stones, walls — the collidable world.
☁
Platforms
Floating tiles distinct from solid blocks. Jump-through clouds, wooden planks.
🌄
Backgrounds
Parallax landscapes and skyboxes behind the play layer. No collision.
🌈
Foreground
Decorative overlays — mist, rain, window frames — in front of the play layer.
🪙
Collectibles
Pickups that add score or resources. Coins, gems, stars, tokens.
🔥
Hazards
Damage-on-contact obstacles. Spikes, lava, spike balls — visually distinct from enemies.
🌸
Decorations
Ambient props. Flowers, lanterns, mushrooms — the world-building layer.
Three ways to get sprites

Browse · Create · Import

Browse. The library ships pre-loaded with curated Kenney sprite packs — animal characters, monster builders, board-game icons, input prompts. All CC0 (public domain), ready to drag into your game, zero licensing hoops.

Create. When the off-the-shelf pack doesn't fit, open Pixel Art Maker or Image to Pixel Art. Build sprites pixel by pixel, or convert a reference photo into a palette-limited sprite. Every save lands directly in your Assets library, tagged with the sprite type you pick.

Import. Got a folder of sprites from an old project? Drag them into the Upload tab. Wide PNGs get auto-detected as sprite sheets and routed to the Sprite Sheet Generator for slicing. Everything stays local in your browser until you opt to share.

Licensing

Truly free — in every way that matters

Kenney packs: released under CC0 (Creative Commons Zero) by Kenney Vleugels. Public domain. Use anywhere, commercially or not, no attribution needed. They're good sprites and the licence is watertight.

Sprites you make in our tools: you own them outright. ToolFluency claims no rights to your pixel art, your sprite sheets, or your palette choices. Ship them in paid games, sell them on marketplaces, burn them onto t-shirts — your work, your call.

Community submissions: when the Community tab goes live, submitted sprites come with a permissive licence agreement that mirrors Kenney's terms. Nothing on this site will ever have an attribution string attached to it.

FAQ

Common questions

Are the sprites really free for commercial use?
Yes. Kenney sprite packs are CC0 — true public domain. Sprites you create in Pixel Art Maker, Sprite Sheet Generator, or Image to Pixel Art are yours to license however you want. No attribution required in either case.
What sprite types are available?
Nine categories: player, enemy, block, platform, background, foreground, collectible, hazard, and decoration. Each maps to a gameplay role so you can drop sprites straight into an engine or into Game Builder Pro.
What formats do sprites export in?
PNG with per-pixel transparency for individual sprites. Sprite sheets export as a single packed PNG with index metadata for engine consumption. No proprietary formats — works in Unity, Godot, Phaser, GDevelop, Construct, and every browser engine we've tested.
Can I upload my own sprites to the library?
Yes. Drag a PNG or JPG into the Upload tab of the Assets library. Wide images (greater than 4:1 aspect ratio) get flagged as sprite sheets and routed to Sprite Sheet Generator for slicing. Your files stay private until you share them.
Do I need an account?
No. Browse and download freely without signing in. An account lets you sync your library across devices (cloud sync coming soon) and submit sprites to the community queue.
What resolution are the sprites?
Varies by pack. Kenney sprites commonly ship at 64×64 or 128×128. Sprites you create in Pixel Art Maker can be any size from 8×8 up. Image to Pixel Art downscales to whatever target resolution you pick.
