Before I download

Is rounded pixel art the same as a blur?

No. Colors remain grouped into distinct blocks with rounded corners. A blur blends neighboring areas instead of creating this separated cell structure.

How do I get solid square blocks instead?

Select Classic and apply again. The same source and palette controls remain available, so you can compare both treatments before choosing a download.

Use rounded blocks for a softer graphic

Rounded corners create a different rhythm from tightly packed square pixels. The treatment can suit flowers, playful portraits, or bright abstract images. Larger blocks make the separated cells more obvious; smaller blocks keep the original image easier to recognize. Compare both at the size where the result will appear.

Check the spaces between cells

Rounded blocks leave unpainted spaces around their corners in the PNG. The final background or application can change how those spaces look. Preview the downloaded file on your intended surface before sharing, particularly when placing a light photograph over a dark slide, page, or social graphic.

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.
