Turn Your Photo Into a Pixel Art Portrait

A photo to pixel art tool turns your photo into a retro video-game style portrait made of large square pixels and a small color palette, like an 8-bit or 16-bit sprite. On Photo Toy Studio, you upload one photo and the pixel art preset is applied. You download a digital image.
