Ditherbug: Image to Pixel Art
Turn your existing graphics into pixel art
Ditherbug is a simple and free, browser based image-to-pixel-art converter with built-in editing and animation tools.
It started as a personal project to convert my existing graphics and illustrations into pixel art, with more control over the results. Over time, it evolved into a more versatile tool for creating, refining and animating pixel art.
Features
- Create: Convert images into pixel art with adjustable resolution, colors, palettes and visual styles.
- Edit: Refine the results using built-in pixel editing and palette tools.
- Animate: Add movement to static artwork with motion effects, from subtle idle animations to fire, water, smoke and particles.
- Combine: Use multiple animation effects together.
- Export: Save artwork as PNG images, animated GIFs or sprite sheets.
Ditherbug runs directly in your browser. No installation or payment required.
