8-Bit Retro Pixel Art Generator

Upload any photograph, graphic, or illustration, or load the built-in arcade demo scene.

Select an authentic retro hardware palette (Game Boy DMG, Nintendo NES, Pico-8, Commodore 64, CGA, Apple 1984, or 256-Color).

Choose a spatial dithering algorithm (Floyd-Steinberg Error Diffusion, Bayer 4x4, Bayer 8x8, or Atkinson) and fine-tune dither intensity.

Select pixel grid resolution (16x16 sprite up to 256x256 stage) and toggle CRT arcade scanline and phosphor glow overlays.

Export as nearest-neighbor crisp PNG (up to 16x scale), infinite vector SVG rect grid, or copy single-div CSS box-shadow art code.
