What should a sprite tool show before users export a game character?

What should a browser-based character creation tool show before someone exports a generated sprite for a game prototype? I am thinking about the product-design boundary between an attractive preview and an asset that is actually usable at game scale. This is a hypothetical workflow question, not a claim about user research or a feature roadmap.

For context, Sprite Maker is a sprite generator that combines AI character generation with pixel editing, direction views, NPC sets and transparent PNG export. I am associated with promoting the project, and this question was prepared with AI assistance. It is not an independent review or an endorsement based on measured results.

A possible export review could show the original and edited version side by side, then provide a native-size preview on light and dark backgrounds. The user might check whether the outline is readable, whether small details disappear after scaling, and whether the character is positioned consistently across direction views. A reminder that direction views are not automatically an animation set could prevent a misleading expectation.

I would also want clear information about the exported canvas dimensions and transparency, without presenting visual polish as proof of ownership or suitability for every commercial use. Reference permissions and the applicable terms are separate questions. Users should not need to upload personal photos or confidential project images merely to test a fictional character concept.

Which checks belong in the editor and which should remain a short optional checklist? Would an always-visible native-size preview be more useful than another export dialog? I am especially interested in ways to make the distinction between generated draft, manually refined asset and reviewed game-ready asset understandable without adding unnecessary friction.
