For turning a photo into a pixel-art version as a base, then cleaning it up by hand.
Converting a photo to pixel art is a fast way to start a sprite or icon, but automatic conversion alone usually looks noisy. This converter combines both: it quantizes your photo with median-cut and Floyd–Steinberg dithering and can extract a matching palette, giving you a clean pixel-art base — then hands you real pixel tools (brush, palette, mirror) to refine it by hand. That 'convert fast, then refine' workflow is how good pixel art actually gets made, rather than settling for a noisy auto-filter. Everything runs in your browser, so your photo isn't uploaded, and exports (PNG, sprite sheets, animated GIF) have no watermark or account. Use it to turn a portrait into a pixel avatar, a logo into a pixel icon, or a reference photo into a game sprite. The combination of quality conversion plus hands-on editing gets you a clean result you control, not just an auto-filter applied to your photo.
