Pixel Art Converter

Covert AI pixel art images to real pixel art • Auto detect size • Align phase • Merge colors

1) Source & Preview

Upload your AI "pixel art" (e.g., 1024×1024)

Determines how transparent a pixel must be before it’s treated as “empty” and ignored during pixelation.

0 – Keep all pixels (even very transparent ones) • 50–128 – Ignore semi-transparent edges, good for clean cutouts • 254 – Only fully opaque pixels are used

Useful when working with sprites or AI-generated art that includes soft edges, anti-aliased outlines, or background noise.

2) Output Size

Enter the final resolution. The image will be automatically cropped and aligned to the nearest clean grid.

3) Sampling

Sampling defines how each pixel block’s color is chosen when resizing. Different methods affect sharpness, detail, and overall style.

Dominant: Picks the most frequent color — clean, sharp pixel art and strong outlines.

Average: Blends all pixels — smoother shading, slightly softer edges.

Nearest: Samples a single pixel — fastest, but may look rough or noisy.

4) Palette Cleanup

Merge similar shades and limit colors for a cleaner pixel-art look.

Higher = more aggressive merging, Lower = more detail preserved

Hard cap on total colors after merging
