PixelatorImage to Pixel Art Converter
The Pixelator turns renders, paintings, photos and 3D screenshots into clean pixel art on an exact grid. It picks a limited palette (or uses yours), adds dithering if you want it, removes half-transparent pixels and draws outlines.
Open all frames of an animation together and they share one palette, so colours never flicker between frames. Save PNGs at any scale, a sprite sheet with a JSON map, a GIF, or the palette for Aseprite and other editors.
