About the Pixel Art Generator

The Pixel Art Generator is a free, browser-based tool from Quenavo. Turn any photo into retro pixel art with adjustable pixel size and optional color reduction. Instant 8-bit style in your browser. Everything happens locally in your browser: the file you choose is read by JavaScript on your own device, processed in memory, and handed straight back to you — nothing is ever uploaded to a server.

Because Quenavo runs entirely in your browser, the pixel art generator works the same on Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, Android, and iOS. There is nothing to install, no account to create, and no watermark on your results. Enable JavaScript to use the tool interactively.

Key Features

  • 100% free, forever: no subscriptions, trials, or paywalls — every feature of the Pixel Art Generator is available to everyone at no cost.
  • Private by design: files are processed with in-browser JavaScript and are never uploaded, stored, or logged.
  • Instant processing: modern browser APIs handle your file in seconds, with no server round-trips or upload queues.
  • No installation: the Pixel Art Generator is always ready in a browser tab — no downloads, licenses, or updates.
  • Works everywhere: a mobile-first interface that works on phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops.
  • No limits or watermarks: process as many files as you like; your results are clean and yours alone.

How to Use the Pixel Art Generator

  1. Open the Pixel Art Generator — it loads in under a second, with no sign-up required.
  2. Add your file by dragging it into the upload area or clicking to browse your device.
  3. Adjust the available options to match exactly what you need, with a live preview where supported.
  4. Run the tool and download your result with one click — then process another, with no limits.

Your Privacy Comes First

Quenavo was built around one principle: your files are your business. The Pixel Art Generator processes everything with client-side JavaScript inside your browser. Your files are never uploaded, never stored on a server, and never seen by anyone — including us. When you close the tab, nothing remains anywhere except the file you downloaded.
