PIXELIZE LAB

Turn images into usable pixel art

PIXELIZE LAB is a lightweight image-to-pixel-art tool designed for game developers, pixel artists and creators who want to quickly turn PNG images into clean pixel-art bases.

Import an image, choose your target resolution, adjust the style and palette, then export a ready-to-use PNG.

No installation. No account. No external upload. Everything runs locally in your browser.

Three resolution ranges

PIXELIZE LAB helps you choose a resolution based on what you are creating:

Icon Range — 16 / 24 / 32 px
Best for simple icons, small props and highly simplified assets.

Pixel Art Range — 48 / 64 / 96 px
The recommended range for characters, weapons, objects and game assets.

Stylized Pixel Range — 128 / 256 px
Keeps more detail for complex illustrations and larger pixel-art conversions.
