Pixelate images for retro-style art

Upload a photo and convert it into retro 8-bit style art or bold color block art. Describe the style you want: pixel art style, retro 8-bit, or pixelated portrait. AI image models interpret your prompt differently. Easily switch models and generate variations to compare. Works with portraits, nature photos, product shots, and real-world textures like rocks or terrain.

Image pixelator with AI editing

Edit your pixel art after generating. Click ‘Edit image’ to open the AI image editor and make targeted adjustments to your image. Change the color palette, swap the background, or shift the overall style. Apply one-click presets for quick changes, or type a prompt for precise edits. Keep editing until your pixel art looks exactly the way you want — no starting over from scratch.
