Pixator: Photo to Pixel Art
Video, palettes & GIF export
Free · In‑App Purchases
Turn photos and clips into pixel art. Try retro looks, tune your palette and share the result. Video export is part of Pro, a one-time purchase.
Turn photos and short videos into pixel art. Start with a retro look, then make it yours: choose the pixel size, simplify fine textures and shape the colors.
TRY A LOOK. MAKE IT YOURS.
• Built-in looks include Game Boy, C64, CGA, Pico-8, Clean Pixel and Retro Dither.
• Reduce details while keeping edges, then adjust ordered dithering.
• Extract a palette from your image, edit each color or import your own.
• Replace colors after dithering. Fit harmonies to selected colors and adjust lightness and chroma contrast.
• Hold the preview to compare with the original. Undo and redo your edits.
READY TO SHARE
Export crisp PNG images, indexed GIF images, or pixelated MP4 and animated GIF clips. Crop your image and trim videos to up to 15 seconds. One palette across the clip helps keep colors consistent. Save to Photos or share to other apps.
Choose repeating, one-pass or boomerang GIF playback. Review the finished clip before saving or sharing; it is processed once. Choose GIF frame rate from 6 to 30 fps (12 by default) with Pixator Pro.
Palettes travel with you: import and export ASE, GPL, PAL, HEX and TXT for tools such as Aseprite, Procreate, Photoshop, GIMP and Lospec.
FREE TO EXPLORE
Photo and video import, frame previews, built-in looks, editing and PNG export up to 1024 px are free. You also get eight free palette extractions, imports or exports in total.
