How do I download my pixel character?

Pick a size (128, 256, or 512), then press Download PNG. The image is exported with a transparent background so it drops cleanly onto any profile or game mockup.

Can I share the character I made?

Yes. Press Share to open a link that stores your character in the URL. Copy it or send it to X, Facebook, or WhatsApp. Anyone who opens it sees the same character and can keep customizing it.

What is Randomize and Lock for?

Randomize rolls a new outfit and colors. Lock a layer — like hair or top — to keep it while everything else changes, so you can explore ideas without losing the parts you like.

Is my character private?

Yes. Everything is drawn in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to Pixel Game servers, and the PNG is generated on your device.
