Pixel Art Generator
Type a prompt or upload a picture and get crisp pixel art with a real grid and a limited palette. Free to start, no software to install.
Opens in Kyncept. Free tier available, no install.
What makes this pixel art generator different
Real pixel grid, not a blurry filter
Output snaps to a consistent grid with a limited color palette, so the result looks like hand-placed pixels rather than a photo with a mosaic effect on top.
Image to pixel art from any photo
Upload a portrait, a pet, a logo or a product shot and the generator rebuilds it as pixel art while keeping the shapes and colors recognizable.
8-bit, 16-bit and modern styles
Choose NES-style four-color sprites, SNES-era scenes or high-detail modern pixel art. The pixel art generator keeps the style consistent across a batch.
Ready for games, avatars and merch
Download PNG at native pixel size or scaled up with sharp edges, so sprites go straight into a game engine and larger versions print cleanly on stickers and shirts.
How to make AI pixel art
- Start from text or an image
Write a short prompt describing the subject and style, or upload a picture you want turned into pixel art. - Pick the style and size
Choose the era, palette size and output resolution. Generate a few variations at once if you want options. - Download or keep editing
Save the PNG, or send it back to the editor to change colors, add a background or generate a matching set of characters.
Pixel art generator questions
Is the pixel art generator free?
Yes, you get free credits every month to generate AI pixel art without a credit card. Paid plans add faster generation, higher resolution and more images per month.
Can I turn my own photo into pixel art?
Yes. Upload the image and the image to pixel art mode redraws it on a pixel grid with a reduced palette. Portraits and simple subjects work best.
Does the pixel art generator produce transparent sprites?
It can. Ask for a transparent background in the prompt, or remove the background afterwards in the editor, and download as PNG with alpha.
What sizes can I generate?
Anything from 16x16 sprites up to 1024px scenes. For game use, generate at the native pixel size and let the engine scale it.
Can I use the pixel art commercially?
Images you generate on a paid plan are yours to use in games, merchandise and marketing. Check the terms on the free tier for attribution details.
Which AI models power the pixel art?
Kyncept runs several current image models, including GPT Image 2 and Nano Banana Pro, with a pixel art style preset that enforces the grid and palette.
