The same cat in Classic pixel art. Compare the blocks and palette.

How do I use this tool?

  1. 1.Choose your source

    Upload an image with broad color areas and a composition you want to explore.

  2. 2.Adjust and compare

    Try the rounded 22-pixel preset and reduce block size if the main forms become unclear.

  3. 3.Download your result

    Download the study after checking how its separated blocks appear on your intended background.

Before I download

Can I create the artwork without uploading an image?

No. The color and composition come from your uploaded photo or illustration. This tool applies a visual transformation rather than creating a scene from scratch.

Why does the background show through between blocks?

Rounded corners leave unpainted spaces in the PNG. Check the downloaded file against the surface where it will be placed, or use Classic for filled square cells.

Look for a useful color rhythm

Large rounded blocks can turn a detailed source into a study of repeated color marks. This works especially well with flowers, fabric, or abstract artwork containing broad contrasts. Inspect both the overall balance and a close detail; the spacing between marks becomes part of the finished appearance.

Use the effect as one stage of a design

The output can sit inside a mood board or provide a starting visual for a poster composition. Add typography and other layout elements afterward in your preferred editor. This maker does not supply text tools, page layouts, print bleed, or a full design project with separate editable layers.

Understand the downloaded image

The download is a flat PNG. Photos are processed at up to 2200 pixels on the longest edge, then rounded down to complete blocks. Pixel size controls each block, not a target canvas such as 32×32. Keep your original for later edits.
