MAKER WORKFLOWS

What you can make with this pixel art maker

Traditional pixel art makers hand you an empty grid and a pencil. This one inverts the workflow: start from any picture, let the converter block it out, then use the export that fits your project.

Game sprites and tiles

Export at Tiny (1px per block) and you get a genuine low-resolution sprite — a 40×30 PNG you can drop into Aseprite, Unity or Godot and refine pixel by pixel. The converter does the tedious blocking; you do the art.

Perler beads and cross-stitch

The tiny export is literally a bead chart: one pixel = one bead or stitch. Set the Colors slider to the number of bead colors you own, convert, and zoom in for a ready-to-follow pattern.

Avatars and emotes

Pixel size 8–12 with the PICO-8 palette makes avatars that look hand-pixeled. Export at 2× for platforms that upscale badly.

FAQ

Is this pixel art maker really free?

Yes — every feature, every export size, no watermark, no account. It runs in your browser so there's nothing to install either.

Can I make Perler bead patterns with it?

Yes. Use the Tiny (1px per block) export: each pixel maps to one bead. Set the Colors slider to match your bead collection and the chart is ready.

Can I edit the result pixel by pixel?

The maker focuses on conversion. Export the tiny PNG and open it in any pixel editor (Aseprite, Piskel, Photoshop) for pixel-level touch-ups — the grid maps 1:1.
