Pixel art in three steps.
Add your image

Set the look
Lower the width for chunkier pixels, then pick a palette. The preview updates as you change each setting.
Download a PNG

No. It shrinks your image and matches each pixel to a palette, so the same settings always give the same result. Keep transparent areas by using a PNG.
