Looking for an AI tileset generator? This makes the art
Sprite Fusion is a level editor, so it needs tiles you already have. SpriteCook is the part that generates them. Describe the tileset you want and get game-ready art in seconds, no existing assets required.
Tilesets, sprites, and pixel art in one place
SpriteCook generates tilesets, sprite sheets, pixel art, seamless textures, and animations, plus a free tileset base generator to start from. Everything is saved to your account and yours to use commercially.
Use them together
These two are a natural pair. Generate your tileset in SpriteCook, import it into Sprite Fusion to lay out your levels, then export the map to Unity, Godot, Phaser, or your engine of choice. SpriteCook makes the art, Sprite Fusion builds the world.
Where Sprite Fusion shines
Sprite Fusion is a genuinely good, free tilemap editor. Auto-tiling, collisions, and one-click export to a long list of engines make it a fast way to build 2D levels. If you already have tiles, it is a great place to assemble them. SpriteCook is where those tiles come from.
