PNG to Pixel Art Converter
Convert PNG images into clean pixel art. Set the pixel size and palette, add dithering, and export a sharp PNG — free, no signup, processed in your browser.
Turn a PNG into pixel art
PNG is the best input format for pixel art because it's lossless — flat colors and sharp edges survive the conversion cleanly. Upload your PNG, pick a pixel width, optionally reduce colors for a retro palette, and download the result.
Other formats and tools
Got a JPG or photo? The image to pixel art converter works the same way. Want to build it in Minecraft? Use the Minecraft pixel art generator.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a PNG to pixel art?+
Upload your PNG, choose a pixel width and color count, then convert. Download the pixelated PNG at actual size or upscaled for crisp display.
Does it keep PNG transparency?+
The converter samples visible pixels; fully transparent areas are ignored when building the palette. For solid pixel-art sprites, use an image with a clean background.
Why PNG instead of JPG?+
PNG is lossless, so edges and flat colors stay sharp — ideal input for clean pixel art. JPG also works but can introduce compression noise around edges.
