How this pixel art generator works
An upload is sampled onto a small grid in your browser. Text mode first calls the site's existing image model, then applies the same grid conversion. The image is enlarged with nearest-neighbor rendering.

Generate pixel art with a controlled grid and palette
Pixelate an uploaded image locally for free, or use site credits to generate an image from text first. Control the grid and colors before exporting PNG.

How this pixel art generator works
Upload an image or describe a sprite to start.
Control grid and colors
A smaller grid creates chunkier forms; a larger grid keeps detail. Lower color levels make flatter shapes. Both controls change the exported pixels, not just a preview filter.
Export and limitations
The result is a PNG, not an animation or tile map. Source transparency is retained where possible. Complex photos may need manual cleanup. Text mode uses the displayed image-generation credits.
Frequently asked questions
Is uploaded-image conversion free?
Yes. It runs in your browser without credits.
Does text generation cost credits?
Yes. The AI image costs credits; pixel conversion adds no charge.
Will enlarged pixels look sharp?
Yes. Export uses nearest-neighbor enlargement for square edges.
