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

How do I use this tool?

  1. 1.Choose your source

    Upload a clear image and create a baseline preview before changing the controls.

  2. 2.Adjust and compare

    Tune Pixel size for shape, then Colors for shading, applying the effect after each change.

  3. 3.Download your result

    Compare your final result with the source and save the PNG when the balance works.

Before I download

Can I convert several images together?

The workbench processes one source at a time. Save each result and use the same recorded settings when you want a consistent series.

Does the converter produce editable pixel-art layers?

No. It downloads a flattened PNG. Keep the original source and recreate the effect with different settings if you need another version.

Find a repeatable conversion process

For a series of related graphics, write down your block size, color count, and style. Use similarly framed source images so those settings have a comparable effect. Different source dimensions still produce different numbers of blocks, so a matching preset does not guarantee identical visual density across every photograph.

Keep enough shading for the intended subject

A product with reflective surfaces often needs more colors than a flat illustration. A portrait can lose its expression if nearby skin tones collapse too aggressively. Inspect the features that communicate identity or form, then simplify the less important parts through source cropping rather than demanding one extreme setting everywhere.

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.
