Limitations to know before generating
Pixel art authenticity depends on prompt specificity; generic descriptions may produce blurred or non-pixelated results.
Exact pixel dimensions and sprite sizes may not match the requested values; review output before using as game assets.
Fine pixel details in small sprites may not render clearly without manual pixel-level editing.
Text in pixel art style often does not render legibly and may require manual editing.
