Image to Pixel Art

Create pixel art from any image — fast and entirely in your browser. Upload or paste a photo link, adjust pixel size, palette, and dithering settings. No AI, no sign-up — just detailed pixel control directly in your browser with export to JPG, PNG, or WEBP.

Transform Any Image into Pixel Art — All in Your Browser

Bring your images to life in a nostalgic pixel-art style. Whether you want to recreate retro aesthetics, design game sprites, or simply experiment with low-res visuals — this tool gives you full creative control without using AI.

You can upload a photo or paste a link, then choose how your pixelation will look: apply it to the whole image or a selected area (rectangle, circle, polygon, or brush). You can even invert the selection — so everything except your object becomes pixelated.

Key Features

  • Pixel Intensity Control: Adjust how coarse or detailed your pixel blocks appear.
  • Pixel Grid: You can enable a visible grid between pixels to create a retro monitor effect or simply make the pixel structure more defined.

  • Color Metrics: Choose between Euclidean and CIEDE2000 color metrics — they define how the tool compares colors when matching your image to a limited palette.

    • Euclidean is faster and works well for simple conversions.
    • CIEDE2000 is more advanced and closer to how human vision perceives color differences, producing smoother and more natural pixel art results

    You can switch between them depending on the style you want — sharper contrast or softer transitions.

  • Color Palettes: Use built-in classic palettes (PICO8, DB32, AAP64, ENDESGA, etc.) or generate one from your image. Customize and save your own palette locally for future use.
  • Preprocessing Tools: Fine-tune your image before pixelation with options like Denoise (reduce artifacts), Sharpen (enhance edges), Gamma, and Contrast adjustments.
  • Dithering Engine: Add natural texture and color blending. Includes algorithms like Bayer4, Bayer8, Floyd, Atkinson, Sierra, Stucki, and more — each with customizable strength, noise, angle, and scale. Combo Dithering allows combining ordered and diffusion methods for even richer results.
  • Local Processing: Everything happens in your browser — no uploads, no privacy risks.

When your pixel masterpiece is ready, simply export it as JPG, PNG, or WEBP.

Perfect for designers, pixel artists, indie game creators, or anyone who loves the charm of pixel graphics — no downloads or accounts required.
