What is Image Pixelator?

The image pixelator applies a retro pixel-art effect to any photo or graphic. By dividing the image into blocks and filling each block with a single average color, it creates a mosaic look that's great for privacy protection, artistic effects, or game-style graphics.

How to use Image Pixelator

  1. Click the upload area or drag and drop an image file onto it.
  2. Drag the pixel size slider to adjust the block size (2–50px). Larger blocks = more pixelated.
  3. The preview updates live as you move the slider.
  4. Click Download to save the pixelated image as a PNG file.
