Redrawn from the upload, then cleaned: background removed, downscaled with no smearing, palette quantised and a fresh 1px outline. The same pipeline that runs on every generation.

How it works

Upload

Drop in a photo, render, logo or any image. Paste or browse works too.

Convert

The image is redrawn as clean pixel art with the background keyed out and a rebuilt outline.

Tune and export

Adjust palette, colours, contrast, outline and size for free, then download as PNG or SVG.

FAITHFUL REDRAW

Keeps the subject and composition, snaps it to a limited palette and a clean grid.

TRANSPARENT OR KEPT

Key out the background for a game-ready sprite, or keep the original background if you want it.

FREE TO REFINE

Every retune after the convert is free, so getting the palette and outline right costs nothing.

FAQ

What images can I convert?

Photos, illustrations, logos, renders, screenshots, or pixel art from other tools. The redraw reads the subject and paints it back as clean pixel art.

How much does a conversion cost?

3 credits per image on Quick Convert. Retuning the result afterwards with the sliders is free and unlimited. The free tier gives you 25 credits plus 5 a day.

Do I get a transparent background?

By default, yes, the background is keyed out to transparent. You can also keep the original background if you prefer, with a toggle.

Can I control the colours and size?

Yes. After converting you get the full free tuning panel: palette, colour count, contrast, outline and size, all re-running locally in seconds.

Is it good for cleaning up other AI pixel art?

Yes. If you have generations from another tool that never got a clean outline or transparent background, converting them redraws and cleans them in one step.
