Pixel art maker: photo to pixel art

Set the size in blocks (32 to 96 across works well), choose 8 or 16 colours or a retro palette, and turn dithering on for smoother gradients. Save at full size with crisp blocks, or at 1 pixel per block for games and editors.

Automatic palettes of 8, 16, 32 or 64 colours chosen from your photo, or fixed ones: PICO-8 (16 colours), Game Boy (4 greens), 4 greys and black and white. Full keeps every block's own colour.

Yes: “1 pixel per block” saves a tiny image where each block is one pixel, for game sprites and pixel editors. “Full size” enlarges the blocks to the photo's size so they stay sharp when printed or posted.

Yes. The effect runs on the full-resolution pixels and the photo is saved at high quality (JPG 90 by default, or PNG / WebP). The date, camera data and colour profile are kept, and the photo is turned the right way up.

Yes. Drop a whole folder or select as many files as you like. They are processed a few at a time on all your processor cores, with progress for every file. You can pause, stop, retry, and save as a ZIP or straight into a folder.

No. FotoJock runs entirely in your browser: the files are read, converted and saved on your own phone or computer. Nothing is sent to a server, and it keeps working offline once the page is open.
