About Pixel Art Effect
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!

We’ve rebuilt Pixel Art Effect from the ground up.
Additionally, Pixel Art Effect now fully supports iPhone X.
You can now choose a photo from your photo library or take a picture with your camera!
New pixel art interface, pixel patterns, drawing techniques, ability to control pixel amount and edge thickness.
In this version you are able to choose from 6 different drawing designs. Each design features different drawing techniques and colors.
You can control how pixelated you want your photo to be by tapping the plus (+) or minus (-) buttons.
You can control the edge thickness of your photo to be by tapping the plus (+) or minus (-) buttons.
You can change the pixel shapes by tapping the "more" button. Choose from square (standard), hexagon, triangular or torn.
Add text to your photos:
We've added the ability to add text to your photos before or after turning your photos into pixel art. We recommend adding text after if you want the text to be more readable…
The text editor lets you:
Change the font color of the text.
Make the text bold.
Add multiple lines of text by tapping the "+" sign.
Make text smaller or larger by simply pinching the text.
Text can be rotated by using the rotation gesture.
You can move the text around by dragging.
We’ve added a traditional cropper as well as a shape cropper:
You can now crop in a rectangular or square shape right in the app!
You can also crop your photos into a circle, flag, heart, star or square!
Added the ability to share your photo or to save it to your photo library right from within the app!
A lot of time, effort and testing was added into this release! We took into consideration the feedback of our users during development and it mainly contributed to our motivation. We thank everyone for the constructive criticism.
