Turn any photo into pixel art you actually control, one pixel at a time. Pick a photo, a painting, a screenshot, a landscape, a pet, a face, and Koadro rebuilds it in real pixels. You decide the resolution. You decide how many colors. Every pixel comes straight from your picture, and every choice is yours. Make a piece you are proud of, or just have fun turning today's photo into pixels. Freedom to make it your way: - Set the resolution, from chunky retro blocks to fine detail. - Hold the color count wherever your eye likes it. - Choose a named palette, Mono, Nord, Noir, Matcha, Sepia, Dusk, Van Gogh, Ukiyo-e, Riso, CGA, or PICO-8, or let Koadro read an adaptive palette straight from your image. - Build your own palettes and save the looks you love. - Add texture and dithering for that classic pixel feel. - Go monochrome in any color, from a few tones to sixteen. - Finish it with effects: lines to count every tile, outlines around each shape, beads like a pegboard, or relief like glazed ceramic. - Crop and rotate freely, your original always kept, and Enhance readies each photo before it becomes pixels. - Or switch to Mosaic and rebuild the whole picture from tessellating tiles: square, triangle, diamond, hexagon. - Transparent backgrounds stay transparent: a cutout goes in, a clean pixel sticker comes out. Make what you like: a pixel avatar or PFP for your profile, a sprite for a game, a sticker, or a whole collection of your favorite images in pixels. How it works: 1. Pick any photo, or take one on iPhone or iPad. 2. Set the resolution and the number of colors. 3. Choose a palette, or pull one from the image itself. 4. Add dithering, effects, or a mosaic of tiles. 5. Export a crisp PNG, or a PDF that prints sharp at any size, and use it however you like. The free tier is a real tool, not a trial. Resolution up to 128 cells, up to 16 colors, every built-in palette, dithering, the lines and outlines effects, crop, rotate and Enhance, transparent backgrounds, square and triangle mosaics, export up to 1024px, and 10 projects. No watermark on any of it. Koadro Premium, one purchase, unlocks the rest: resolution up to 256 cells, up to 64 colors, monochrome in any color with up to 16 tones, diamond and hexagon mosaics, the beads and relief effects, exact sizing in centimeters or inches, export up to 4096px and to PDF, custom palettes, saved presets, and unlimited projects. Pay once. No subscription. No ads. No watermark. Ever. Everything runs on your device. No account, no cloud, no upload. Your images never leave your hands. Anything you can picture, in pixels. You make every decision, Koadro just makes it easy.
