What is this pixel art maker?

Pixel Art Maker turns a local image into a small-grid pixel illustration in your browser. Choose an 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512 or 1024 pixel grid, reduce the palette, add dithering and edit individual cells before exporting a PNG.

Privacy

FAQ

Does the image leave my device?

No. Decoding, sampling, palette reduction and export run locally in your browser.

Why does a larger grid look different?

The grid controls the number of source samples. A smaller grid creates chunkier pixels and a larger grid preserves more detail.

Can I create transparent pixel art?

Yes. Enable transparent background before regenerating the image. The downloaded PNG keeps the alpha channel.
