What Pixel Art Size Calculator does

Every pixel art game starts with the same question: what size should the sprites, the tiles and the canvas be? Pick a game resolution such as 320 x 180 or 640 x 360 and a tile size from 8 to 48 pixels, and the Pixel Art Size Calculator shows how many tiles fit on screen, how tall a character should be, and how big one art pixel is on a 720p, 1080p, 1440p or 4K screen.

It scales by whole numbers only, which is how pixel art stays crisp, so it also shows the black bars each screen leaves and which resolutions fill all four screens with none. A live preview draws a meadow at your sizes, and the settings come out as lines for Godot's project.godot and values for Unity's Pixel Perfect Camera.

How it works

  1. Pick a game resolution, or start from a screen and the number of tiles you want to see.
  2. Pick a tile size and whether the game is top-down or side view.
  3. Check the tiles on screen, the scale and black bars, and the preview.
  4. Download the sizes, or copy the Godot settings into project.godot.

What you get out

  • Size sheet (.txt)
  • Godot 4 project.godot lines
  • Unity Pixels Per Unit and Pixel Perfect Camera values
