About PixelTool
A free browser-based tool for turning images into pixel art, with real-time preview and PNG or SVG export.
Technical Principles
PixelTool uses the browser Canvas API to process images locally in real time. It builds a pixel grid from your selected block size, optionally reduces the color palette, then scales the result with crisp pixel edges. Every adjustment appears in the preview immediately.
Core Functions
- ▸Real-time pixelization: Upload an image and see every slider change instantly
- ▸Style controls: Tune pixel block size and maximum colors to balance detail and retro character
- ▸Flexible export: Choose the original size or a 128–2048px preset, then download PNG or SVG
- ▸Local processing: No account required, and images stay in your browser instead of being uploaded
Application Scenarios
PixelTool is suitable for game development, UI design, digital art creation, and more. By pixelating your images, you can add a unique retro style to your projects while maintaining clarity and recognizability.
Privacy Statement
Your images are processed locally in the browser and are never uploaded to or stored on PixelTool servers. Learn more in our Privacy Policy.
