Explore a minimal four-color pixelart treatment from your image. Keep strong shapes, adjust block size, and download a PNG of the result.
Waiting for a source image
The same cat in Classic pixel art. Compare the blocks and palette.
Choose an image with strong light-dark contrast and a simple background.
Create the four-color study, then inspect which parts remain distinct and which merge.
Increase the palette if needed, apply again, and download the version that communicates best.
No. They are derived from the uploaded image. Different photographs can produce different palettes even when the color-count setting is identical.
There is no fixed-console palette selector here. Use a dedicated pixel editor for exact hardware colors, manual palette replacement, or game-specific export requirements.
Four colors force the photograph into a few broad visual groups. A backlit shape or a simple still life may work well, while subtle skin shading can become harsh. The exercise is useful for finding strong contrast relationships, not for reproducing the full tonal range of the original image.
If two meaningful areas blend together, move to eight or twelve colors before shrinking the blocks. The issue may be color separation rather than spatial resolution. This page samples its colors from the source; it does not lock the result to a handheld-console palette or a set of manually chosen swatches.
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.
