about the pixel art converter
A pixel art conversion recreates your photo as detailed retro game art: crisp chunky pixels on a coarse grid, a limited 16-bit-era palette, and careful dithering for gradients — the charm of a premium 90s video-game portrait. It keeps your likeness and pose readable at pixel scale, which makes it a fun choice for avatars, stream overlays, and gaming profiles. Simple, high-contrast source photos read best once reduced to pixels.

questions, answered
what resolution is the pixel art?+
it's rendered with deliberately chunky pixels for the retro look, delivered at full image resolution so it stays crisp.
is it good for a gaming avatar?+
yes — the 16-bit style is popular for profile pictures, stream overlays and gamer tags.
will the pixel art version still look like me?+
yes — the conversion keeps the same person, pose and composition, so the result is clearly recognizable as you, rendered in the new style.
can i try other styles with the same pass?+
yes. one pass works across every style and every tool on this site — anime, watercolor, oil painting, headshots, background removal and photo restoration.
do i need an account?+
no. you can buy a one-time pass with just a card — the pass lives in your browser. if you later create a free selfielab account, any unused conversions convert into studio credits.
is this a subscription?+
no. passes are a single one-time payment. your conversions never expire and there is nothing to cancel.
what happens to my photo?+
your photo is uploaded securely, used for this conversion, and isn't shared or used to train models. you own the result.
what resolution do i get?+
full-resolution output, no watermark. every conversion is yours to download and post anywhere.
