Questions and answers

Is this a pixel art converter or a pixelation tool?

This converter uses AI to reinterpret a photo as retro pixel-style artwork. Pixelation reduces visible detail into blocks, often to obscure part of an image. AI pixel art can change faces, lettering, and small objects, so compare the result with your source.

Can I choose a pixel grid or export a game sprite sheet?

This creates an illustration guided by your photo. It does not offer an exact pixel grid, a fixed color palette, or an editable game sprite sheet. Use a dedicated pixel editor when those production controls are required.
