What is Pixelicious?

Pixelicious transforms photos and illustrations into blocky, retro pixel art with precise control over grid size, color palettes, and cleanup options. Choose pixel grids from 16 px to 256 px, extract or build custom palettes, and use Remove Noise and Remove Background to create clean sprites, posters, and avatars. Built on Scenario's Pixelate tool for game assets and stylized designs.

How to use Pixelicious?

Upload a high-resolution image from your library or by drag-and-drop. Adjust the color palette (auto-extracted or custom with hex codes), choose a pixel grid size (16, 32, 64, 128, or 256 px), optionally enable Remove Noise and Remove Background, then click Generate. Review the result and refine settings until you get the desired pixel art, then download or save to your library.

Pixelicious Frequently Asked Questions

What is Pixelate?

The Pixelate tool transforms standard images into a blocky, retro style reminiscent of classic video games or pixel art. It reduces image detail into distinct pixel grids while letting you customize the color palette for consistent, stylized results.

What pixel grid size should I use?

Smaller grids (16–32 px) create heavier pixelation for classic 8-bit sprites; 64 px balances detail and retro effect; 128–256 px keeps more of the original image with light pixelation. Start with 64 px and adjust from there.

How do credits work?

Credits are Scenario's generation currency. Every image, video, 3D mesh, or model training consumes credits based on the model and output. When you run out, generation stops until credits are topped up or your monthly reset occurs.
