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.
