About this app

Turn any photo into pixel art you actually control, one pixel at a time.

Koadro is a photo to pixel art maker for anyone who would rather make the picture than have it made for them. Pick a photo, a painting, a screenshot, a landscape, a pet, a face, and Koadro rebuilds it in real pixels. Every pixel comes straight from your picture, and every choice is yours. Make a piece you are proud of, or just have fun turning today's photo into pixels.

Pick any image from your gallery, or take a photo. Crop it, rotate it, and pixelate it live as you move.

You place every pixel. Set the resolution, from chunky retro blocks to fine detail, and hold the color count wherever your eye likes it. Let Koadro read a palette straight from the image, or set one yourself. Recolor with palettes you feel rather than count: Nord, Noir, Matcha, Sepia, Dusk, Ukiyo-e, Riso. For the purists: CGA and PICO-8, real retro color. Add texture and dithering for that classic pixel feel, or switch to Mosaic and rebuild the whole picture from tessellating tiles. Bring a cutout with a transparent background and it stays transparent, straight into stickers and sprites.

Make what you like: a pixel avatar or PFP for your profile, a sprite for a game, a sticker, or a whole collection of your favorite images in pixels.

All of it is free from the first tap. Every palette, crop and rotate, every texture and dither, transparent backgrounds, real resolution and color to work with, square and triangle mosaics, export up to 1024px, and room for ten projects to live in. When you are done, save straight to your gallery or share it anywhere. No account, no trial clock. A real tool, not a demo.

Koadro Premium is a one-time purchase that opens the full range: the finest detail and every color, and the diamond and hexagon mosaics, where your image is rebuilt from tessellating tiles instead of square pixels. Set an exact canvas and pixel size in centimeters or inches, or export at full size up to 2048px for any profile. Build your own palettes, save a look you love, resolution, colors, palette and texture together, and drop it on the next image in one tap. Keep as many projects as you make, with no ceiling.

Pay once. No subscription, no ads, no watermark, ever.

Everything happens on your device. No account, no cloud. Your images never leave your phone.

A photograph or a painting. A logo or an icon. A game sprite or a sticker. A landscape, a pet, a face. If it is an image, it is a starting point. Koadro is a real tool for the pixel-art crowd who want control over resolution, color, dithering, and mosaic shapes, and it is just as good for a quick retro look you actually chose.

Anything you can picture, in pixels. You make every decision, Koadro just makes it easy.

What’s new

Transparent backgrounds now make it all the way through: pixelate a cutout and export a clean sticker, transparency intact. Your gallery got truer too: every project tile now shows your art exactly as you shaped it, hexagons and all.
