Make a pixel-style study from an existing photo or illustration. Use a restrained palette, compare block edges, and export the result without signup.
Waiting for a source image
The same cat in Classic pixel art. Compare the blocks and palette.
Upload your own photograph or artwork with a clearly separated subject.
Create a 16-color study and adjust block size until the main outline feels intentional.
Download the PNG as a finished effect or a reference for manual pixel drawing elsewhere.
It is a photo and image converter. It does not let you paint or erase individual cells, build layers, or draw an animation frame by frame.
Yes, subject to your rights in the source image. Download the PNG and inspect the shapes before redrawing or refining them in your preferred editor.

It can be a useful starting reference, but a human pixel artist may redraw edges, exaggerate a feature, or remove isolated cells. Treat the generated result as a study when your goal is a carefully authored game asset or illustration.
An object against a plain surface offers clearer shape decisions than a busy shelf. If your artwork contains lettering or fine linework, keep blocks small enough to preserve it or prepare a simplified version first. The maker has conversion controls rather than drawing tools, layers, or animation frames.
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.
