Image to Pixel Art Converter: Free, No Upload

Image to Pixel Art

Drop a PNG, JPEG or WebP image

Image to pixel art converter

Free image to pixel art converter—no upload. Open a PNG, JPEG, or WebP (or Open example) to turn a photo or drawing into pixel art. Processing stays on your device; the source file is never overwritten. Soft or off-grid AI pixel art that needs a real grid belongs in Fix AI Pixel Art (Recover Grid) instead.

Convert an image to pixel art

Under Action, choose Convert image. Pick a size preset or enter Width and Height.
Choose a Method and compare the preview with the original. Limit colors or select a palette when needed.

Lock aspect ratio keeps the source proportions. Keep original dimensions scales the pixelated result back to the source image size.

Recover an enlarged pixel grid

Under Action, choose Recover pixel grid and leave Automatic grid on to use a detected grid.
If no reliable grid is detected, turn Automatic grid off and enter Cell width and Cell height.

Cell sizes are measured in pixels of the original image.

Save or continue editing

Click Export… to save the PNG, or Edit more to open the result in the Xprite editor as a new project.

The PNG filename adds -pixelated or -restored before the extension; the original stays unchanged.

The preview updates with your settings. When it looks right, use Edit more to open the result in Xprite as a new project, or Export… for PNG. Free, no account, no upload. Photo → pixel art is this converter; recovering a soft AI grid is Fix AI Pixel Art.

Free image to pixel art converter—photo or drawing to pixel art, no upload, then Edit more in Xprite. Already have soft or off-grid AI pixel art? Fix off-grid AI pixel art with Recover Grid. Have an animated GIF? Use the free GIF to sprite sheet converter —no upload—for a PNG sheet and JSON frame data. Need Wplace map colors for an overlay? See the Wplace map palette / converter guide.

Is the image to pixel art converter free?

Yes. Free, no account, and no watermark. Open the tool and convert in your browser.

Do I need to upload my photo?

No. Processing stays on your device. Drop or open a PNG, JPEG, or WebP—the file is never uploaded to a server.

Can I turn a photo into pixel art?

Yes. That is Convert image: pick size, method, colors, and palette, then preview before you export.

What does Edit more do?

Edit more opens the converted result in the Xprite editor as a new project so you can keep drawing, adjust the palette, or save .aseprite.

How is this different from Fix AI Pixel Art?

Use this converter for a normal photo or drawing you want turned into pixel art. Use Fix AI Pixel Art (Recover Grid) when the input already looks like soft or off-grid AI “pixel art” and needs a real pixel lattice.
