Cartoon Character Generator

Combine different body parts to create unique cartoon characters for your 2d game.

You no longer need to waste time drawing and animating characters for your games. With Cartoon Character Generator you can quickly create animated characters of different styles and eras for your games.

Ideal for game prototyping, game jams and even full games.

Cartoon Character Generator comes with a feature where you can quickly test a short gameplay using the character you just created, to see how it would look in the game, without having to export the sprites to your project all the time.

The tool will be updated with new sprites, animations and possible improvements in the future, completely free of charge.

The sprites are exported separately and also in a single spritesheet, with a canvas size of 512x512 pixels. The character itself is approximately 256x256 pixels in size.

Each part of the body can have a maximum of 6 different colors.

Test the DEMO version directly in the browser. (Some features are not available in the DEMO version, such as exporting sprites and importing custom color palette)
