How CopyPxl actually works — and a Google login fix for new users

I'm a Spine animator at a game studio, not a developer. CopyPxl started as a Python script to help our designer use AI-generated pixel art as actual bitmap fonts in Unity and Godot.

Here's how it works under the hood:

  1. Upload any reference image (pixel art, hand-drawn lettering, any style)
  2. Gemini analyzes the glyph style — stroke weight, pixel density, spacing rhythm, and overall aesthetic
  3. Generates a full ASCII character set matching that style
  4. Outputs font.png + font.fnt in BMFont format, ready to drop into any game engine

Works with Unity's bitmap font importer and TextMesh Pro (via BMFont import), Godot's BitmapFont (3.x and 4.x), Phaser, and LibGDX.

Important fix this week

Google login was broken for new users. If you tried signing in and never received your 10 free credits, that's been fixed. Sign in again at copypxl.com and your credits should appear.

Would love feedback on edge cases — especially non-Latin scripts or unusual pixel art styles.
