About this app

Pixelis is a pixel art maker that turns any photo into retro 8-bit and 16-bit style artwork in seconds. Pick a picture from your gallery or take one with the camera, choose a look, and get crisp pixel art ready to save or share.

AI PIXEL ART GENERATOR
Let AI redraw your photo as hand-crafted pixel art: clean pixel blocks, vibrant colors and the same subject and composition. Want something specific? Write your own prompt — "make it a night scene with neon lights", "turn it into a 16-bit game level" — and Pixelis transforms the image the way you describe.

18 RETRO AND CINEMATIC PRESETS
Apply a complete style with one tap:
• Retro console looks: 4-color handheld green, 8-bit console, 16-bit console, black & white and more
• Cinematic looks inspired by film color grading: phosphor-green Digital Rain, red-neon Upside Down, Noir Red (black & white with red accents), Neon Noir, Light Cycle, Spice Desert, Pastel Hotel, Doll House, Wasteland and Yellow Vengeance

FULL CREATIVE CONTROL
• Pixel size (granularity) from fine detail to chunky blocks
• Color vividity, black & white to color mix and hue shift
• Dithering for authentic retro shading with limited palettes
• Live preview, full-screen zoom to inspect every pixel

SAVE AND SHARE
Save your pixel art to the gallery in full quality, or share it straight to WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram and other apps.
