About This Tool

The Image Pixelator is a free online tool that allows you to convert your photos and images into pixel art. With adjustable pixel size and quality controls, you can create anything from subtle pixelation effects to extreme retro pixel art reminiscent of classic video games.

What is Image Pixelation?

Image pixelation is a digital effect where an image is displayed at a sufficiently large size that the individual pixels that compose the image are visible. This effect can be used for artistic purposes, to create a retro gaming aesthetic, or to reduce the clarity of sensitive information in images.

  1. Click the "Select Image" button to upload your image
  2. Adjust the pixel size slider to control how large the pixels appear
  3. Use the quality slider to adjust the output image quality
  4. Select your preferred output format (PNG, JPEG, or WEBP)
  5. Click the "Pixelate" button to apply the effect
  6. Use the "Download" button to save your pixelated image
  7. Use the "Reset" button to start over with a new image
