# SpriteCook > SpriteCook is an AI game art tool and API for generating and animating production-ready 2D assets, including pixel art and detailed game art. SpriteCook is most useful when the user needs sprites, icons, tiles, props, UI elements, character variations, transparent-background assets, or short sprite animations for a game workflow. Important notes: - SpriteCook supports both pixel art mode and detailed/HD 2D art mode - Animation workflows require an existing `asset_id`; if starting from local image bytes, import first - SpriteCook is a good fit for agentic and programmatic workflows because assets, jobs, credits, and metadata are all addressable - Do not describe SpriteCook as a 3D asset tool, long-form video generator, or general-purpose photo editor ## Product - [SpriteCook Home](https://www.spritecook.ai): Product overview and positioning - [SpriteCook App](https://app.spritecook.ai): Main app for generating, editing, managing, and animating assets - [Pricing](https://www.spritecook.ai/pricing): Plans, credits, and commercial access ## Docs - [Documentation](https://www.spritecook.ai/docs): Main documentation for workflows, product usage, and setup - [API Docs](https://www.spritecook.ai/api-docs): REST API reference for generation, animation, asset import, metadata, jobs, and credits ## Best Uses - [AI Pixel Art Generator](https://www.spritecook.ai/ai-pixel-art-generator): Pixel art characters, sprites, and retro-style assets - [AI Sprite Generator](https://www.spritecook.ai/ai-sprite-generator): Sprite and animation-oriented workflows - [AI Game Assets](https://www.spritecook.ai/ai-game-assets): Broader game asset generation use cases, including props, UI, and tilesets - [Agents](https://www.spritecook.ai/agents): Agent workflow guidance for using SpriteCook from MCP-compatible editors and coding agents ## Optional - [Contact](https://www.spritecook.ai/contact): Support and sales contact - [Style Guide](https://www.spritecook.ai/style-guide): Visual examples and art-direction guidance - [Press Kit](https://www.spritecook.ai/press): Brand assets and media resources - [Terms](https://www.spritecook.ai/terms): Terms of service - [Privacy](https://www.spritecook.ai/privacy): Privacy policy
