Question 1

How does the AI PNGTuber generator work?

Accepted Answer

You describe the PNGTuber you want — looks, outfit, vibe — or start from a style preset. The AI generates four takes, you pick one, and that character is generated as four matching transparent frames: idle, talking, blinking and blink-talking, ready for OBS.

Question 2

What does AI generation cost?

Accepted Answer

AI generation runs on credits, and the exact cost of every step is shown before you confirm it — nothing is charged silently. If a generation fails, the credits are returned. One finished PNGTuber is 240 credits: 4 candidates at 30 credits each, then the 4-frame pack for another 120. That works out at about $2.38 a character on the $9.90 Starter pack. The 200 free credits you get for signing up cover that candidate round, and credits from a pack never expire. Until your first purchase, the frames are drawn first as a free preview with a watermark, so you watch your character talk before you pay for them.

Question 3

What exactly is free?

Accepted Answer

Sign-up comes with 200 free credits — enough for your first round of 4 candidates at full quality, no card and no watermark. They expire 30 days after sign-up. Picking a design then draws its talking and blinking frames free, as a watermarked preview you can watch and try with your mic. That round costs 120 and leaves 80; keeping the frames — the files, without the watermark — is another 120, 40 credits beyond what the free ones cover. Every cost is shown before you confirm it.

Question 4

Can I add more expressions to a character I already made?

Accepted Answer

Yes, once you have bought credits at least once. Open a character you have generated and add an expression: pick one of the 4 classics (happy, sad, angry, surprised), start from the Shy or Smug preset, or build your own from eyes, brows, mouth, cheeks and effects. Name each one and come back to add more later. A character holds up to 20 custom expressions on top of the classics. Each one uses credits, and the cost is shown before you confirm.

Question 5

Do I need to install anything?

Accepted Answer

No. Prompting, generating, comparing candidates and the mic preview all run in the browser. You will need OBS or Streamlabs to actually stream, but that is separate and also free.

Question 6

Where does my microphone audio go?

Accepted Answer

Nowhere. The browser reads the loudness of your voice to move the mouth and throws the audio away. It is never recorded, saved or sent to a server.

Question 7

What do I do with the four PNG files?

Accepted Answer

Add them to OBS as Image sources and let a free audio-reactive plugin switch to the talking frames while you speak. The PNGTuber OBS guide walks through it step by step.

Question 8

Can I use my own drawing instead?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pick "Use a reference image" in the generator and drop in a selfie, a sketch or an old avatar, and the AI draws from it. Choose "Inspired by it" to keep only the general look, or "Keep the likeness" to hold the face, hair and colors close. Your image goes to our AI image provider to make the candidates, so only upload pictures you have the right to use — remove it at any time and we delete the file.

Question 9

Can I use my PNGTuber on Twitch and YouTube?

Accepted Answer

Yes, including monetized channels. The PNGTuber you make here is yours to use on any platform, on stream, in videos, or as a profile picture.

Question 10

Will this PNGTuber maker work on a phone?

Accepted Answer

The generator and the mic preview work on a modern phone browser. Streaming software generally does not, so most people build their PNGTuber on a phone and stream from a computer.

Question 11

What size are the downloads?

Accepted Answer

Square transparent PNGs, at least 1,000 pixels on a side — sharp for a corner cam and still clean scaled up to fill more of the screen. The exact size is shown on the download screen.
