Private conversion

The source image never leaves your browser.

02 / WORKFLOW

From source to clearly labeled output.

STEP 01

Upload an image

Choose a photo, painting, render, or game reference.

STEP 02

Reduce the grid

Tune pixel size and palette count until the silhouette reads clearly.

STEP 03

Download the result

Export a crisp PNG at a practical display size.

DIRECT ANSWER

Is this just a mosaic filter?

No. It redraws the source on a smaller grid, reduces colors, then enlarges with nearest-neighbor scaling so the result is actual pixel art.

03 / FAQ

Clear terms before you build.

Is this just a mosaic filter?

No. It redraws the source on a genuinely smaller grid, reduces its colors, and scales it with nearest-neighbor rendering.

Does it work with transparency?

Yes. Transparent areas are kept when the source format includes alpha.

Does it use AI credits?

No. The converter is a free local browser utility.
