Convert an image into pixel art
Upload an image, choose a canvas size and refine the result. Export a PNG when you are ready.
Open the editor ↗Explore dog chasing its tail through simple illustrated references, then choose the outline and color treatment you want to build. Focus on the dog silhouette, the tail motif and their spacing. Choose one direction of movement and keep the animal silhouette clear against it. Separate limbs and props with visible gaps, and keep any motion marks away from the eyes and mouth.
6 pixel-art references from pixie.haus, exported at 128×128. Compare the characters, props and scene layouts as inspiration for your own version. The final example adds a whole-image floating GIF loop.

Keep the dog silhouette, the tail motif and their spacing clear in your selected reference. Choose one direction of movement and keep the animal silhouette clear against it. Separate limbs and props with visible gaps, and keep any motion marks away from the eyes and mouth. Add texture only after the outline remains recognizable without it.
Separate the darkest outline, the main midtone and the brightest accent. When two neighboring areas merge at native size, change their lightness before adding more shades. Choose one direction of movement and keep the animal silhouette clear against it. Separate limbs and props with visible gaps, and keep any motion marks away from the eyes and mouth.
No. The gallery GIF shifts an entire licensed illustration in a short floating loop. Use separate drawn frames if you want parts of the subject to move independently.
Use nearest-neighbor scaling and inspect the design at its actual working size. If the original is already 128×128 pixel art, keep that grid rather than reducing it to a smaller grid and smoothing it back up.
Choose an outline from your reference, simplify the dog silhouette, the tail motif and their spacing, and export a still image or GIF when the small version reads clearly.
