Koadro - Photo Pixel Art
Make avatars & sprites
Free · In‑App Purchases
Turn any photo into pixel art you control. Your resolution, your colors, your palette. Make avatars, sprites, and stickers. Pay once, no subscription, no ads.
Turn any photo into pixel art you actually control, one pixel at a time.
Pick a photo, a painting, a screenshot, a landscape, a pet, a face, and Koadro rebuilds it in real pixels. You decide the resolution. You decide how many colors. 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.
Freedom to make it your way:
- Set the resolution, from chunky retro blocks to fine detail.
- Hold the color count wherever your eye likes it.
- Choose a named palette, Nord, Noir, Matcha, Sepia, Dusk, Ukiyo-e, Riso, CGA, or PICO-8, or let Koadro read an adaptive palette straight from your image.
- Build your own palettes and save the looks you love.
- Add texture and dithering for that classic pixel feel.
- Or switch to Mosaic and rebuild the whole picture from tessellating tiles: square, triangle, diamond, hexagon.
- Transparent backgrounds stay transparent: a cutout goes in, a clean pixel sticker comes out.
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.
How it works:
1. Pick any photo, or take one.
2. Set the resolution and the number of colors.
3. Choose a palette, or pull one from the image itself.
4. Add dithering, texture, or a mosaic of tiles.
5. Export your pixel art as a crisp PNG, and use it however you like.
The free tier is a real tool, not a trial. Resolution up to 128 cells, up to 16 colors, every palette, dithering, transparent backgrounds, square and triangle mosaics, export up to 1024px, and 10 projects. No watermark on any of it.
Koadro Premium, one purchase, unlocks the rest: resolution up to 256 cells, up to 64 colors, diamond and hexagon mosaics, exact sizing in centimeters or inches, export up to 2048px, custom palettes, saved presets, and unlimited projects.
Pay once. No subscription. No ads. No watermark. Ever.
Everything runs on your device. No account, no cloud, no upload. Your images never leave your hands.
Anything you can picture, in pixels. You make every decision, Koadro just makes it easy.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
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.
