Turn a photo into real pixel art - hard square pixels, a limited retro palette and clean dithering - for avatars, game mockups, sprite references and 16-bit style profile pictures.
How the photo to pixel art converter works
Upload a photo, ideally one with a strong, simple silhouette. The converter rebuilds it on a pixel grid using a limited palette, hard-edged colour clusters and dithered gradients, keeping your pose, framing and colour identity intact. Ask for a specific vibe - 8-bit, 16-bit, GameBoy green, monochrome - and rerun to compare. Download the version with the cleanest edges.
Tips for the best results
Simple, high-contrast photos convert best - a face against a plain wall beats a busy street scene. Crop close before uploading so the subject fills the grid. Name a palette size or era ('16-bit, 32 colours') for tighter results, and request a plain background if you want to use the output as an avatar.
