Pixabots: 2,000+ Free Pixel Art Robot Characters

Pixabots is a pixel art robot character pack by designer Pablo Stanley, featuring over 2,000 unique characters, free for commercial use. Each robot is a tiny 32×32 pixels, yet every one has its own personality — different head shapes, eyes, bodies, and accessories combine to ensure no two bots look alike. Some characters even come as animated GIFs, blinking and moving, making them more than just static assets.

Pablo Stanley is also the creator of Open Peeps, Humaaans, Avataaars, and other popular open-source illustration libraries, known for large collections of mix-and-match character elements. Pixabots carries that same passion for character design into the pixel art world. Beyond the free pack on Gumroad, he has also open-sourced the character generator on GitHub for developers to explore.

Key Features

• Over 2,000 robot characters, randomly assembled from four layers — body, eyes, head, and top — each with a distinct look
• 32×32 pixel size in retro pixel art style, with clean, crisp linework
• Animated GIF versions available — robots blink and move, ready to use as motion assets
• Each character comes in three formats: static (PNG, WebP) and animated (GIF)

Can You Use Pixabots for Commercial Projects?

Pixabots is free for personal and commercial use. You can modify, recolor, composite, and redistribute them as part of your work. The only restriction is that the images cannot be resold as a standalone pack.

What File Formats Does Pixabots Include?

• GIF: Animated format with blinking and motion effects — great for adding life to web pages, social media posts, or presentations
• PNG: Static raster images with transparent backgrounds, ready to drop into Photoshop, Canva, Keynote, and more
• WebP: Balances image quality with smaller file sizes, ideal for web performance optimization

Where Can You Use Pixabots?
