Describe the motion.
A sword swing, a spinning coin, an opening chest, or a full 360° character turn. Start with a reference and describe the movement and viewpoint you want.
Describe the animation
Describe a custom movement or edit a motion idea. Choose a loop or a single action, then select 7–100 frames.
Review, then import
Play the animation and inspect its frame boundaries, edges, and identity. Download the PNGs and atlas, then set the playback timing in your engine.

Take the jumping bear into your project. Download 24 frames, from crouch through somersault to landing, with the same frames shown in the animation.
- 24 transparent PNG frames in the bear somersault
- A 3072 × 2048 sheet with 512 × 512 cells
- Frame rectangles and timing in atlas JSON
- A GIF preview and export notes
One ZIP: transparent frames, sprite sheet, atlas and preview.
Download the bear bundle ↓Inspect at native size. These examples retain visible edge fringing and small ground remnants; some frames need cleanup before final game use.

Sprite sheet questions,
answered.
Upload a reference image and describe the animation through the DreamLayer API. Choose a loop or a single action and 7–100 frames. The completed job delivers a ZIP with transparent PNG frames, a sprite sheet, atlas JSON, an animated preview, and import instructions. Review the result before game use.
Yes. Use an image you own or have permission to use, with the entire subject visible and space for movement. Characters, creatures, objects, and effects can be described in the request. A clear reference helps preserve the intended style and appearance.
Describe a custom action, such as a sword swing, jumping creature, spinning coin, opening chest, or an effect animation. Motion ideas such as walk, run, and idle are optional starting points. You can request broad subjects and movements, but generation quality varies; every requested result is not guaranteed.
You can request a full turn while the camera and pose stay fixed. Describe the rotation and choose Loop for a repeating turntable. With only one reference, the model must invent unseen side and back details, so inspect those views for consistency.
Yes. The bundle contains transparent 512 by 512 pixel PNG frames and a PNG sheet on a regular grid. The atlas describes each frame rectangle and the animation timing. Check edges and ground remnants against your game's background before import.
Yes. Import the PNG sheet into Unity's Sprite Editor and slice it by 512 by 512 cell size. In Godot, add frames from the sheet to a SpriteFrames resource. Set the timing for your animation and omit any unused grid cells. The included JSON is a frame and timing reference; it is not a Unity controller or a Godot scene.
The examples show the actual output quality. Pixel-art references can acquire softer edges or extra colors during generation. Review at your game's native resolution and use a pixel editor for palette or pixel-level cleanup when needed.
No. Choose Loop for repeating motion or Play once for a complete action with a beginning and end. Review the first-to-last-frame transition before relying on a loop. Faces, clothing, accessories, and other details can change. Transparent effects and fine details can need extra cleanup.
The minimum is 7 frames and the maximum is 100. The following rates apply to the API. Frames 1–14 cost $0.14 each; frames 15–100 cost $0.07 each. The lower rate applies only to additional frames. Prices are in USD. One API credit is $0.17; the total rounds upward once to 0.1 credit. For example, 12 frames cost 9.9 credits (about $1.68 USD). Check the current capabilities quote before submitting.
The example previews and downloads on this page are free. Generating your own sheet uses paid Agent API credits and an API key. Use this page to prepare your image and animation description, then generate through the API. The image picker is a local preview; upload your image through the API to get its asset ID. App credits and Agent API credits are separate.
Jobs can take several minutes. Keep the execution ID so you can check the same job if your connection drops. Credits are reserved when generation starts and restored if it fails without delivering the bundle. Submitting a new job starts a separate request.
This workflow generates an animation from one character reference and packages the result. It does not take an existing collection of sprites for custom packing, split arbitrary sprite sheets, or edit individual pixels.
