How does a pixel art converter work?

A pixel art converter reduces an image to a grid of colored cells. Grid size changes the amount of detail, while the selected palette determines the colors available. This converter uses our bead pattern editor, so you can turn the result into a craft plan: refine the grid, inspect the color counts, and export a reference for your next project.

Free pixel art converter FAQ

Which image formats can I convert?

Upload a JPG, JPEG, PNG or WebP file up to 10 MB. A clear subject and a simple background usually make the first result easier to refine.

How should I choose the grid size?

The default grid is 32 pixels wide, with a height that follows your image’s proportions. Increase the width when faces, lettering or other details need more cells. Larger bead patterns also need more materials.

Can I change the result after conversion?

Yes. Use the brush, eraser and color picker directly in the workspace above. You can change individual cells and use undo or redo without leaving the converter.

Can I download the pixel art?

Yes. Export the current pattern as a PNG image or a printable PDF. Export settings let you adjust the pattern presentation.

Do I need an account?

You can convert images, edit and download for free in your browser without signing in. Cloud project saving requires an account and follows the project limits shown in your account.

Can I open the featured patterns in the converter?

The gallery cards open public pattern detail pages, where you can review the work and its downloads. To convert your own image, upload it in the workspace above.
