QUICK ANSWERS

A FEW THINGS YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING.

Pixel art, privacy, exports and making things by hand.

Artwork built from a small grid and a limited palette. We map each block to a color and enlarge it with crisp edges.
Add an image, set pixel size, choose a palette and adjust brightness, contrast or saturation. Compare the result, then export PNG.
No. The preview and PNG use nearest-neighbor scaling to keep every pixel edge crisp.
Yes. Pick Game Boy, Minecraft, Pico-8, NES, C64 or Mono, or use Auto to extract colors from your image.
Your image stays on your device. Conversion, adjustments, previews and exports all run inside your browser.
Free to use, with no signup, watermark or download limit.
PNG, JPG, WebP and GIF up to 25 MiB. Animated GIFs use a single still frame; transparent areas are placed on white.
Use the Minecraft palette as a block-color reference. The numbered guide helps you rebuild the image one square at a time.
Yes. Choose a camera-roll photo in a modern browser, adjust the preview and save the PNG or ZIP to your device.
Start around 2. Smaller blocks keep more detail; larger blocks make a chunkier image. Fixed 32 or 64 grids control the size for crafts.
Yes. Use a clear portrait, choose a bold palette and export PNG for profile pictures, emotes or stream badges.
A printable grid whose numbers match the color key. Enable the guide to see the pattern and export a separate Guide PNG.
Auto offers 8, 12, 16, 24 or 32 colors; an image may need fewer. Retro palettes keep their fixed color sets.
pixel-art.png, numbered-guide.png and readme.txt with palette indices, HEX and RGB values.
Yes. Choose a practical grid and 8–12 Auto colors, then print the numbered guide. Match the palette to your actual beads or thread.

Your next idea starts with one photo.
