Why Pixelify

The best way to convert
photos to pixel art

Most apps add watermarks or charge for basic exports. Pixelify doesn't.

No watermarks ever

Your exported pixel art is completely clean. No Pixelify branding, no premium unlock needed to remove it.

Any photo, instant results

Portraits, landscapes, pets, food, architecture Pixelify handles every kind of image with great results.

Live real-time preview

Every slider and effect updates your image live. You see exactly what you'll get before saving.

Converts on your device

Pixelation runs 100% on your device, not on a server, so your photos remain completely private and everything works with no internet connection.

How It Works

Convert a photo to pixel art
in 3 steps

01

vs. Other Apps

Why not just use filters?

Regular photo filters don't create true pixel art. Pixelify actually analyses your photo at a grid level, maps colours to a true palette, and reconstructs each pixel exactly how classic pixel artists worked by hand.
