PVFX Foundry — Free Pixel VFX Pack

Thirteen original pixel VFX you can put in a game today

PVFX Foundry Thirteen is a free CC0 collection of combat, elemental, defensive, support, and arcane effects. Every animation is 96×96, 20 FPS, transparent, and deterministically rendered from an original Pixel VFX Studio project.

The pack works without Pixel VFX Studio and is engine-neutral.

Scene-readability note: composite the transparent sheets at native scale and check them against your game. Electric Impact uses a pale core; on very bright scenes, give it scene-local contrast such as a darker hit flash or backing effect.

Inside the download

• 13 one-shot effects: Electric Impact, Crescent Slash, Magical Projectile, Warm Explosion, Frost Nova, Acid Splash, Earth Rupture, Radiant Heal, Void Implosion, Arcane Parry, Solar Shrapnel, Ember Jet, and Spectral Bloom.
• 26 transparent PNG sprite sheets.
• A fixed 96×96, five-column grid edition for simple slicing.
• A trimmed packed edition with padding, edge extrusion, and exact pivots.
• JSON metadata for frame timing, placements, pivots, markers, and canonical pixel hashes.
• Checksums, provenance, and concise import documentation.

Import in seconds

For the grid sheets, slice 96×96 cells in five columns, read left-to-right and top-to-bottom, and play each frame for 50 ms. For compact textures, use the packed sheet with its adjacent manifest.

License

The rendered sheets and bundled metadata/documentation are released under CC0 1.0 Universal. Commercial use, modification, and redistribution are allowed. Credit is appreciated, not required.

Made with Pixel VFX Studio

Pixel VFX Studio is a deterministic procedural pixel-VFX authoring system. These are real compiler outputs, not hand-cleaned storefront substitutes.

AI disclosure

Some project copy and documentation were prepared with AI-assisted tooling. The VFX imagery is deterministic procedural renderer output; no generative image-model output or third-party reference artwork is included in the pack.
