This tool downsamples your image into a grid of solid color blocks and reduces the palette, producing crisp retro pixel art in seconds. Lower the resolution for a chunky 8-bit look or raise it for detailed sprite work. Reduce the color levels to lock your image to a tight, game-ready palette.
Switch on the grid overlay and every pixel becomes a charted cell, exactly what you need for cross-stitch, perler / Hama bead art, diamond painting and latch-hook rugs. Set the resolution to match your fabric count or pegboard size and pick a contrasting grid color so each cell is easy to follow. Crafters use this to convert favourite photos into stitchable charts without expensive pattern software.
Dithering keeps a higher resolution and fakes extra shades by arranging patterns of a few colors. Pixel art reduces the resolution into solid blocks with a limited palette. Use pixel art for clean sprites and craft charts; use dithering for textured, 1-bit retro looks. For an even more abstract result, try ASCII art.
All STUDIO·ITY tools accept video. Drop an MP4, MOV or WebM onto the canvas, set resolution and palette on a still frame, then render the whole clip frame-by-frame. Output is a standard H.264 MP4. HEVC (iPhone) and ProRes are auto-converted in-browser. Free tier: 5 seconds at 480p; Pro: 30 seconds at source resolution.
Upload a photo, lower the resolution slider to set how many pixels wide the art is, and reduce the color palette. The tool downsamples and quantizes your image into crisp pixel blocks instantly in your browser.
Yes. Turn on the grid overlay to draw lines between every cell, turning your pixel art into a cross-stitch, perler bead or diamond-painting style chart you can follow stitch by stitch. Match the resolution to your fabric count or pegboard size.

Pixel art downsamples an image into solid color blocks with a reduced palette. Dithering keeps a higher resolution but simulates extra shades by arranging patterns of a few colors. Pixel art is blockier and cleaner; dithering is textured.
