About Photo to pixel art
The image is shrunk to a coarse grid, then every block is snapped to a limited palette: Game Boy green, PICO-8 colours or a number you choose. Fewer colours and bigger blocks give a more retro look. Simple subjects with clear shapes turn out best.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get cleaner pixel art from a photo?
Start with a simple subject on a plain background, use fewer colours and a larger block size. Detailed, noisy photos lose their shapes when reduced to a small grid.
What is the Game Boy palette?
It uses only four shades of green, like the original Game Boy screen. The PICO-8 palette has 16 fixed colours, so each one gives a different retro look.
How does the pixel size change the result?
A larger pixel size makes bigger blocks and less detail, which looks more retro. A smaller size keeps more of the photo. Try several sizes until faces are still recognisable.
