Turn any image into real pixel art, in a palette you pick. What comes out is what went in: your image, your colors, every pixel from honest math. Photos, paintings, posters, game art. Crop, dither, mosaic tiles, and full-resolution export. No ads, no watermark, no subscription. iOS, Android, iPad, macOS. One-time purchase.

Hi Product Hunt, Pixel art is just painting with a strict, honest grid: every pixel placed on purpose. But when we wanted our own photos as pixel art, every app we tried failed the same way. One repainted the photo into something generic that no longer looked like the original. Another hit us with a $3.99-a-week paywall before we could save. A third buried the result under ads and stamped a watermark across it. Koadro does the opposite. It rebuilds your actual image pixel by pixel, with honest math, and you watch it happen live. You choose the pixel size and the palette: taste palettes like Noir, Matcha, and Riso, or a purist menu with true console palettes, Game Boy, NES, PICO-8. Everything runs on-device and works offline. No account, no ads, no watermark. You can play with everything for free. One small one-time purchase unlocks high-resolution and transparent-background exports, and that's the only money in the app. Same price on iOS, Android, iPad, and macOS. We'd love to know what you make with it, and which palettes you want next.

Love that it's a one-time purchase with no watermark, that sold me right away. One thing I'd love to see added is a simple batch queue so I can drop in a folder of reference photos and walk away. Right now converting them one at a time gets a bit tedious when I'm prepping sprite sets.
