Click to choose an image

Low sizes give a subtle effect; high sizes create the heavy retro look. The download is produced from the preview canvas.

How does pixelation work?

The image is first scaled down to a tiny canvas — one block per pixel cell — then scaled back up without smoothing. The result is the classic chunky pixel look.

How do I control the effect?

Drag the pixel size slider. Small values like 4–8 give a subtle blocky texture, while values of 32–64 produce the heavy retro game look.

Which file format is exported?

The output is downloaded as a PNG file, so the pixelated preview keeps full quality no matter how many times it is opened.

Does it work with all image types?

Yes. Any format your browser can display — JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF and more — can be pixelated. Large images are handled in memory.

Is the original image modified?

No. The original file stays untouched on your device. The tool only creates a new pixelated version you can preview and download.
