Exporting Sprites & Sheets for Unity

Getting AI-generated pixel art into Unity looking crisp takes a few specific import settings. Here's the reliable setup.

Export from Voidless

Export your sprite or sprite sheet as a PNG (with transparency). For sheets, keep a uniform cell grid and note the frame width/height, columns and rows.

Import settings for crisp pixels

In Unity, select the imported texture and set:

• Texture Type: Sprite (2D and UI).
• Sprite Mode: Single for one sprite, Multiple for a sheet.
• Filter Mode: Point (no filter) — this is the big one; it keeps pixels sharp instead of blurry.
• Compression: None — avoids muddy artifacts on small art.
• Pixels Per Unit: match your tile size (e.g. 16 or 32) so world scale is consistent.

Slice a sprite sheet

With Sprite Mode = Multiple, open the Sprite Editor and slice:

• Grid By Cell Size using your frame width/height, or
• Grid By Cell Count using your columns/rows.

Apply, and each frame becomes an individual sprite you can reference.

Set up animations

Select the sliced frames and drag them into the scene to auto-create an Animation Clip + Animator, or build clips manually by frame range. Set the sample rate to match your intended playback speed.

Keep it pixel-perfect

For a crisp look, use Unity's Pixel Perfect Camera (from the 2D package) and keep all art at the same PPU. Snap sprites to the pixel grid to avoid shimmering when the camera moves.

Quick checklist

• Filter Mode = Point ✅
• Compression = None ✅
• PPU consistent across all art ✅
• Sheet sliced with the exact frame size ✅
