Pixator: Pixel Art Maker

New guided stack, Auto Enhance, presets, palette tools, and export controls make it faster to turn photos into polished pixel art.

Turn photos, sketches, and paintings into clean pixel art without leaving your iPhone or iPad.

Pixator is built for fast visual experiments: import an image, shape the processing stack, refine the palette, and export a crisp PNG for social posts, game mockups, stickers, references, or further work in your favorite art tools.

What you can do:

• Pixelate photos with precise pixel scale, smoothing, and detail controls
• Use Auto Enhance before pixelation for stronger tones and clearer color separation
• Try built-in looks such as Clean Pixel, Soft Pixel, Sharp Sprite, Retro Dither, and Pico-8
• Extract colors from any picture and keep tuning the palette by hand
• Import and export palettes in ASE, TXT, GPL, and PAL formats
• Apply palettes with lightness or chroma priority
• Add ordered dithering for richer retro color
• Crop the source and preview the original with a long press
• Export upscaled PNGs that stay sharp when shared

Pixator is useful for pixel artists, illustrators, game developers, designers, and anyone who wants to turn everyday images into a controlled pixel-art base instead of a generic filter.
