Pixelize turns any photo into real pixel art: authentic retro palettes, true dithering and a live preview that updates as you tweak. Pick a photo, then pick a look. Game Boy Camera, PICO-8, NES sprite, 1-bit Mac, CRT arcade: every style renders on your own photo before you tap it. Fine-tune pixel size, palette, dithering and tone, then export a crisp PNG or an animated GIF. REAL PIXELS, NOT A BLUR FILTER Pixelize snaps your photo to an actual pixel grid and maps every pixel to a real palette. Export at 1× for game sprites and pixel-art references, or up to 4K for prints and wallpapers. 50 RETRO PALETTES • Consoles: NES, Sega Master System, PICO-8, Sweetie 16 • Handhelds: Game Boy and its variants, Virtual Boy • Computers: Commodore 64, CGA, Apple II, ZX Spectrum, MSX, Amstrad CPC • Moods: Vaporwave, Cyberpunk, Synthwave, Thermal, Risograph and more • Palette Studio: build and save your own SMART PALETTE Let Pixelize pick the 4 to 32 colors that best represent your photo, for pixel art that still looks like the original. 6 DITHERING STYLES Floyd-Steinberg, Atkinson, two Bayer matrices, blue noise and halftone, with adjustable strength: the patterns that gave 8-bit and 16-bit art its texture. 18 ONE-TAP STYLES Game Boy Camera, PICO-8, NES Sprite, 1-bit Mac, C64 Demo, CRT Arcade, Vaporwave, Newspaper, Sticker, Thermal, Poster and more. ANIMATED GIFS Export a "pixel reveal" GIF that resolves from chunky blocks into your finished art. Made for chats and socials. STICKERS AND EFFECTS Remove the background for a transparent sticker, add a die-cut border, cel-shaded outlines and CRT scanlines. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything runs on your device. Photos are never uploaded, there is no account, and the editor works offline. FREE, WITH OPTIONAL PRO The editor, 25 classic palettes and 10 styles are free, with ads. Pixelize Pro adds Smart Palette, 25 more palettes, 8 Pro styles, 4K export, GIFs without the watermark and unlimited custom palettes, and removes all ads. Pixelize Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription: pay once and keep it. To get it back on a new device or after reinstalling, tap Restore purchases in Settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Pixelize Me at Free against GAMMA 35mm PRO's $3.99. Pixelize Me also leads on update cadence (every 4 months vs every 45 months). GAMMA 35mm PRO's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
