Image to Pixel Art

Downsample and quantize any photo or render into pixel art.

What it does

Takes any input image — photo, illustration, AI render — and converts it to pixel art at a chosen resolution and palette size.

How to use it

1. Pixel size sets the target pixel resolution (lower = chunkier). 2. Palette levels sets how many color levels per channel (lower = more retro). 3. Click Convert.

Pro tip

Pair with Palette Transfer afterwards to lock the output to a specific palette like PICO-8 or NES.
