How to use the photo to pixel art

To turn a photo into pixel art, upload it, choose the grid size (32–64 pixels wide is the classic look), limit the palette to 8–16 colors and download the PNG. The converter averages your photo inside every square and snaps it to the closest palette color, all inside your browser.

  1. 1

    Upload a photo

    Faces, pets and objects with a plain background convert best.

  2. 2

    Choose a grid size

    32 px for retro sprites, 48–64 px for portraits, 96+ for detailed scenes.

  3. 3

    Pick a palette

    Any colors, or real Perler bead or DMC thread colors if you want to make it.

  4. 4

    Download a crisp PNG

    Every pixel is a sharp square — no blur when you scale it up.

Choose a grid size

Fewer pixels make a bolder, more retro image; more pixels keep more of the photo. Use the Compare view to slide between your photo and the pixel art.

Pick a palette

“Any colors” lets the converter choose the best 8–64 colors for your photo. Pick Perler beads or DMC floss instead and the pixel art uses only colors you can buy — then open it in the Perler or cross stitch maker to print the pattern.

The conversion runs on your own device, so your photo never leaves it. That also makes it fast: changing the size or colors redraws the pixel art in a fraction of a second.
