How do I get a more retro look?

Use bigger pixels and fewer colours — around 8–16 colours gives a strong 8-bit feel.

Can I use it for game sprites?

Yes — export as PNG to keep the crisp pixel edges.

Will it keep my photo's size?

Yes — the pixel art is exported at the original dimensions, with each 'pixel' scaled up cleanly.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

Turn a photo into pixel art

Give a photo the chunky, limited-colour look of classic video games. Adjust the pixel size and colour palette until it looks just right, then download.

Add an imageJPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC… Blur or pixelate the whole picture, the background, or just the parts you choose. Nothing is uploaded.

Runs on your device — your image is never uploaded. For faces, plates and documents, use strong settings: light blur can sometimes be partly reversed.
