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

How do I use this tool?

  1. 1.Choose your source

    Prepare a close portrait with the face centered and room for your platform to crop it.

  2. 2.Adjust and compare

    Keep the eyes and hairline readable while testing eight-pixel blocks and a compact palette.

  3. 3.Download your result

    Download the PNG, then check the avatar crop inside the platform where you will use it.

Before I download

Can I make the background disappear?

The conversion does not remove backgrounds. Use an already prepared portrait or remove the background with an appropriate editor before uploading it here.

Why does my avatar look different after upload?

Platforms resize and crop images. Check the actual profile preview, use a clear central subject, and avoid relying on tiny details near the edge.

Design for a small display

Profile images are often shown much smaller than the uploaded file. A simple silhouette and clear light-dark separation matter more than subtle background detail. Try a close crop before conversion, and preview the result at a small size so the expression does not depend on features nobody will see.

Keep the final crop in mind

This converter preserves the source composition while applying its block treatment. It does not provide a platform-specific circular mask or guarantee a particular avatar crop. Leave a little space above the head and beside the face, then use the destination platform to position the downloaded image.

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.
