About this app

The other apps hand you back a stranger. This one hands you back you.

Real pixel art from your own photo, in a palette you pick. It still looks like you.

A machine can guess at your face. Koadro rebuilds it, one honest pixel at a time. This is a photo to pixel art converter, not an AI redraw, so what comes out is your face in pixels, not a guess at it. It stays your photo, in your colors, and you keep it.

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

You place every pixel. Set the resolution, hold the color count wherever your eye stops, and let Koadro read a palette straight from your photo, 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.

All of it is free from the first tap. Every palette, crop and rotate, every texture and dither, real resolution and color to work with, export up to 1024px, and room for five 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 mosaic, where your photo is rebuilt from tessellating tiles, triangles, diamonds, or hexagons, instead of square pixels. Set a real canvas and pixel size in centimeters or inches to print at true size, or export at full size for any profile. Build your own palettes, save a look you love, resolution, colors, palette and texture together, and drop it on the next photo in one tap. Keep as many projects as you make, with no ceiling. One tool that works as a pixel avatar maker, an 8bit photo editor, or a pixel sticker maker.

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

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

Koadro is for anyone who wants one look across their profiles and stories: a pixel avatar in your own palette, a retro photo effect that still reads as you, a pixel sticker that matches the rest of your feed. It is also for the pixel-art crowd who want real control over resolution, color, dithering, and mosaic shapes rather than a one-tap filter.

It's still you. In colors only you would choose. Pay once, and keep what you made.

What’s new

Cropping and rotating are smoother, and the live preview keeps up as you change resolution and colors. Cleaner menus give the whole app a calmer feel.
