The Pixel Art Effect app lets you turn your photo into video game pixel art. The effect ranges from modern pixel art which has a more subtle pixelated effect (many small pixels) to retro pixel art which is made up of fewer larger pixels. You can control the amount of pixels you want. There 6 designs to choose from which differ in color etc. You can control the edge thickness. This is the outline of the artwork. There are also 4 pixel designs to choose from. These pixel designs are standard square, hexagon pixels, triangular pixels and torn pixels. See the screenshot for a visual example. No internet connection is required! Step 1: To convert your image to pixel art! Simply tap the "Add a Photo". You will be presented with the option of choosing a photo from your photo library or taking a picture with your camera! Step 2: Tap the "Apply Pixel Effect" button. Step 3: Save your pixel art to your photo library or share it to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Google+, VK or any other social network, forum or site and set the picture as a profile picture, cover photo etc. As of version 2.2, Pixel Art Effect allows you to do a lot more with your photos! The effects are endless because you can mix and combine the features and effects. You can also add text to your photos before or after applying the pixel effect! Add the text before applying the pixel effect if you want the text to become pixelated as well! You can also crop your photos into various shapes. Choose from a circle, flag, heart, star, square or rectangle.

Lov all the effects n easy to do
Just one issue…
I love this app! I got it so I could pixelate my photos as a guide for needle point. My only issue is the app radically alters the original colors of the photo. I need something that gives me accurate colors. The filters are good, but nothing that looks like the original photo.
Good
Good
Just wonderful
Great no-nonsense app, breaks down color and value shifts perfectly. As an artist I use it to ID color when preparing a palette for painting.
Great
It is great so far
Great app!
I like this app…no problems yet!
Awesome, but one little tiny thing
i love this, i got it to make designs in Animal Crossing. It worked perfectly, but the only thing is there’s a minimum/maximum of how many pixels you can put in one pic, and for me it didn’t line up. i just made the picture bigger (making the desired picture smaller), and i got it to the exact number of pixels i wanted. another thing, it would be great if you could choose the number of pixels on both length and width of the picture, it would make it so much easier. it worked great, and my 32/32 pixel picture on Animal Crossing looked LIFELIKE!!!!
Added darker color effects in the converter due to a review which we've received about the colors being too washed out. We have, however, kept the other color effects for those who like those. Minor navigational changes were also made.
