Turn a photo into crisp pixel art

Pixel size sets how chunky the blocks are; the palette control cuts the number of colours for a true retro-game feel; and the optional grid draws a line between every block. Unlike a simple blur-pixelate, the output uses crisp nearest-neighbour scaling, so the pixels stay sharp-edged.

The result renders live and exports as a clean PNG, all on a canvas in your browser — nothing uploaded. For a plain blur-style block-out, use pixelate image; to go fully text-based, try image to ASCII.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from pixelate?

Beyond blocking the image, it can cut the colour palette down for a true retro-game look and overlay a grid — and it renders with crisp nearest-neighbour edges, not a blur.

Is my photo uploaded?

No — everything runs on a canvas in your browser.

Your files never leave your device

Most online converters upload your file to a server. InfyTool ships the actual encoders to your browser as WebAssembly instead, so processing happens inside your tab — faster for batches, and nothing to delete afterwards.

  • No upload, ever. Turn off Wi-Fi after the page loads and every tool keeps working.
  • No limits. No file-size cap, no queue, no watermark, no account.
  • Runs on your CPU. Batches use several cores in parallel; nothing is throttled.
