Pixelate Image

Convert any photo into pixel art. Adjust block size, then fine-tune the pixel colours with hue shift, saturation, brightness, contrast, and a custom colour tint overlay — all in real time. Export as PNG, JPEG, or WebP. Nothing is sent to a server.

How it works

The tool divides your image into a grid of square blocks. Each block is replaced with its average colour, producing the classic pixelated look. The colour-grade controls then transform every block's HSL values before painting it onto the output canvas.

Colour controls

  • Block Size — how large each pixel square is (2–80 px). Larger = more abstract.
  • Hue Shift — rotates all colours around the colour wheel (-180° … +180°).
  • Saturation — increases or decreases colour vividness.
  • Brightness — shifts overall lightness up or down.
  • Contrast — expands or compresses the tonal range.
  • Colour Tint — blends a custom colour over the pixelated result. Useful for duotone and neon effects.

Export formats

Choose PNG for pixel-perfect lossless output (ideal for art assets), JPEG for smaller file sizes, or WebP for the best balance of quality and compression.
