Animate with text (Pro)

Animate with text (Pro)

The Animate with Text tool generates animation frames from a single reference image using an action description.

How It Works

  1. Set your character as the reference image using the "Set" button
  2. Enter an action description (e.g., "walk", "jump", "attack")
  3. Optionally set the view and direction
  4. Generate

The tool automatically generates multiple animation frames based on the action you describe.

Frame Output by Reference Size

  • 32x32 or 64x64 → 16 frames (4×4 grid)
  • 128x128 → 4 frames (2×2 grid)

Options

  • Reference Image: Your character sprite
  • Action: What animation to create (e.g., "walk", "run", "jump", "attack", "idle")
  • View: Camera perspective (low top-down, high top-down, or sidescroller)
  • Direction: Which way the character faces (south, south-east, east, etc.)
  • No Background: Generate with transparent background
  • Seed

Limitations

  • Reference image must be square: 32x32, 64x64, or 128x128
  • Maximum reference image size is 128x128 pixels
  • Costs 40 generations per use
  • Requires Tier 1 subscription
  • Available in Pixelorama, Aseprite, and Creator
