PNGTuber Maker is an AI PNGTuber generation tool for livestreaming scenarios. Its product positioning is "a character that speaks for you," helping users without drawing skills quickly obtain PNGTuber assets usable in OBS.
In terms of use, users can start from a one-sentence description or a reference image, have AI generate four candidate character designs, choose one of them, and then generate animation frames matching the character. The core use is to create a PNGTuber with idle, talking, and blinking states for game livestreaming or appearing on video.
Main capabilities include: generating characters through text prompts or style presets; generating four candidates at once for comparison; generating the selected character into four matching transparent PNG frames (idle, talking, blinking, blink-talking); adding expressions to an already generated character, either by choosing from the four classic expressions happy, sad, angry, and surprised, or based on the Shy or Smug presets, or customizing eyes, eyebrows, mouth, cheeks, and effects, with up to 20 custom expressions stackable per character; supporting uploads of selfies, sketches, or old avatars as reference images, with the option to choose "Inspired by it" to retain only the overall style, or "Keep the likeness" to keep the face, hairstyle, and color scheme close; and providing an in-browser microphone test preview.
In terms of usage, the entire process requires no installation: enter a description or choose a style, compare the 4 candidates, choose one and generate the frame pack, preview expressions, and export transparent PNGs, then add them to an OBS scene. The downloaded files are square transparent PNGs, at least 1000 pixels per side. Add the four PNGs to OBS as image sources, and use a free audio-reactive plugin to switch to the talking frame while speaking; the documentation also provides a step-by-step guide for "Add a PNGTuber to OBS." Microphone audio is only used by the browser to read volume to drive mouth movement, and is not recorded, saved, or sent to a server.
Pricing and free allowance: registration grants 200 credits, which can be used for the first round of 4 full-quality candidates, with no watermark and no credit card required; credits expire 30 days after registration. Fully generating one PNGTuber requires 240 credits: 4 candidates at 30 credits each, plus another 120 credits for the 4-frame pack. If the first purchase is completed within 48 hours after the first preview, it is $3.99 for 400 credits; at 9.90 USUnder the Starter pack, a single character is about US$2.38. Before the first purchase, the frames of the selected design are generated as a free watermarked preview, so you can first watch the character speak and test with a microphone; keeping the watermark-free file for download requires 120 credits. Credit packs are one-time purchases, do not auto-renew, credits do not expire, and credits are fully refunded if generation fails.
Use cases include game streaming, Twitch and YouTube channels (including monetized channels), appearing on camera in video content, and use as an avatar. The product states that the generated content belongs to the user, can be used on any platform, and can be used commercially.
In terms of limitations: streaming itself requires OBS or Streamlabs (free but separate software); the generator and microphone preview can run in modern mobile phone browsers, but most live streaming software is not suitable for mobile phones, so it is usually made on a phone and streamed on a computer; when uploading a reference image, the image is sent to its AI image provider, and users need to ensure they have the right to use the image, and can delete the file at any time.
