What a real pack looks like
Mochi the chibi cat — same character, 20 different reactions in a real pack.
The proof
20 illustrations.
One character. One artist.
Eight illustrations of Mochi the chibi cat — all generated from a single prompt. Same fluffy white-and-cream coat, same tiny bowtie, eight different reactions. No drift, no surprise alt-character on emote 12. That's what every pack you order looks like.
4 positive reactions
happy · excited · love · laugh
4 negatives
sad · angry · cry · rage
4 neutrals
think · shrug · sleep · wave
4 reaction memes
shock · sus · facepalm · based
4 utility
thumbs-up · thumbs-down · party · fire
What you get in every pack: 20 hi-res transparent PNGs of your character at a 1024×1024 master size, plus pre-cropped variants for Discord (128), Twitch (28 / 56 / 112), Kick (112), YouTube (48), Slack (128), iMessage (408), and Telegram (512) — so whichever surface you're publishing on, the right file is already in the right folder. Full commercial license included.
Who Pile is for
One product.
Six audiences. Same magic.
Pile makes one thing: 20 character-locked illustrations of a subject you describe (or upload). What you do with them is up to you — picture books, sub emotes, D&D tokens, store pages, custom Discord emoji, anything.
Children's book authors
Your protagonist, 20 expressions, one afternoon.
Self-publishing? You need the same character on every page. Pile locks one character across 20 poses for ~$10 — instead of $500 per chapter to a freelance illustrator.
See examples →D&D / TTRPG players
Your character, every reaction. Drop into Roll20.
Token art for your warlock, paladin, sneaky rogue — 20 poses you can use in initiative, party Discord, session recaps. Transparent PNG, ready to drop.
See examples →Streamers
Twitch / Discord / Kick — same character, every slot.
20 character-locked emotes pre-sized for every platform (Discord 128, Twitch 28 / 56 / 112, YouTube, Slack, iMessage, Telegram). One pack covers all of them.
See examples →Pet & VTuber owners
Upload your pet. Get 20 illustrations of THEM.
Drop a photo of your cat, dog, ferret, or VTuber model. Pile locks that exact subject across 20 poses — chibi, anime, plushie, whatever style you want.
See examples →Indie game devs
Mascot, NPC portraits, store-page art — done.
20 poses of your protagonist or boss in one ZIP, pre-cropped for stores, marketing, and in-game UI. Native SVG mascot style for infinite scaling.

Custom server emoji, no Fiverr quotes.

Why us
Fourteen reasons
we're the better choice.
#01
20 illustrations for $9.99
Other AI tools charge $8 for 5 illustrations. Pile is ~3.5× cheaper per piece — and ours are character-locked.
#02
Character lock by default
Other tools gate "same character every image" behind $9–39/mo subscriptions. We make it the default on every pack.
#03
Photo upload supported
Drop your pet, your VTuber model, your brand mascot, or your own art. Pile locks every illustration to that exact subject.
#04
One prompt, whole pack
Others make you prompt per-image. We expand one description to 20 cohesive sub-prompts automatically.
#05
Full commercial license
Sell on Etsy, Fiverr, Gumroad, Amazon KDP, ASD listings, ad creatives, wherever. Keep 100% of revenue.
#06
Transparent PNG by default
Every illustration ships with a clean transparent background — no white box, no chroma halo, no rework needed.
#07
Multi-platform crops included
Discord 128, Twitch 28/56/112, Kick 112, YouTube 48, Slack 128, iMessage 408, Telegram 512 — all in the ZIP.
#08
20+ styles, first-class
Most tools have 6 styles. We have 20+, each routed to a generation pipeline tuned for that look.
#09
Native SVG mascot mode
Mascot-style packs ship as scalable vector. Infinite zoom, zero quality loss — book interiors, large prints, merch.
#10
No credit math
$9.99 = 20 illustrations. Done. No "5 credits per image" puzzles to solve.

Per-illustration rerolls
Don't like one? Click reroll, get a fresh take in seconds. 3 free rerolls per illustration on every paid pack.

FAQ
Real questions.
Anything not covered, DM me — solo founder, real reply.
What exactly do I get for $9.99?+
20 hi-res transparent-background PNGs of your character in 20 different poses + expressions, at a 1024×1024 master size, plus pre-cropped variants for every common platform (Discord 128, Twitch 28/56/112, Kick, YouTube, Slack, iMessage, Telegram). All in one ZIP. Full commercial license — use them anywhere, sell them anywhere.
Can I upload a photo of my pet / VTuber / brand mascot?+
Yes. Reference image upload is supported. Drop your photo (PNG, JPG, or WebP up to 10 MB), pick a style, and Pile locks every one of the 20 illustrations to YOUR exact subject. This is the magic for pet owners, VTubers, indie devs with established mascots — your subject stays consistent across all 20.
What if one of the 20 lands wrong?+
Hover any illustration in your unlocked pack and click ↻ Reroll — that single one regenerates while the other 19 stay untouched. Every paid pack includes 3 rerolls per illustration (60 total across the pack — plenty of room to fix the few that miss).
Can I use these in a self-published book / on Amazon KDP?+
Yes. Commercial license is included on every paid pack. Self-publishing authors use Pile for picture-book characters, chapter illustrations, sticker pages, and marketing thumbnails. We don't take a cut, royalty, or rev-share — buy once, use forever.
What's the difference between Pack and Studio?+
Pack ($9.99) gives you 20 illustrations — you pick which 20 from the 50-emotion catalog. Studio ($29.99) gives you all 50 illustrations of the same character, so you never have to leave an emotion on the table. Studio takes ~2 minutes to generate (vs Pack's 60 seconds) because there are 2.5× more illustrations. Both ship as transparent PNGs with full commercial license.
Can I generate Pokémon-style / Sonic-style / brand-adjacent characters?+
Our pipeline is permissively licensed. You're responsible for what you generate per our TOS — same rules every AI image tool operates under. We don't actively market or preset branded IP, but if you type "chibi pikachu" the system won't block it.
What if I don't like the previews?+
You see all 20 watermarked previews before paying. If you don't love them, don't pay. Once paid, packs are non-refundable — but you get every reroll, every crop, every file, forever.
Is there a subscription?+
No. Pile is one-time pay. $9.99 buys you one Pack, $29.99 buys you one Studio. Need another pack tomorrow? Pay again. No monthly bill, no auto-renewal, no surprise charges.
What if I hire a human illustrator instead?+
Then hire one — that's a different product. A freelance illustrator charges $15–77 per illustration and delivers in 3–7 days. Pile delivers 20 illustrations for $9.99 in 60 seconds. Different products for different people.
