About Pixelicious
Transform Images into Pixel Art
Pixelicious is a fast, flexible tool for converting detailed images into classic pixel art. Whether you're designing a retro-style video game, prototyping characters, or creating nostalgic visuals, Pixelicious helps you pixelate images with precision and control.
Built for Game Asset Creation
Pixelicious is tailored to meet the needs of artists and developers creating assets for pixel-based environments. You can quickly adapt high-resolution images to retro game aesthetics, making it ideal for games styled after 8-bit or 16-bit eras.
How Pixelicious Works
Adjustable Pixel Grid Size
Select from multiple grid resolutions—16px, 32px, 64px, 128px, or 256px—to define the level of detail in your pixelated image. This lets you control the granularity and style of your artwork.
Custom Color Palettes
Match your game’s visual identity by applying your own color palette to the pixelated image. Create consistent color themes across your game assets with ease.
Clean, Isolated Output
Use built-in tools to reduce image noise and remove backgrounds. This is especially useful for isolating characters, items, or other key visual elements you want to reuse in different settings.
