Ways to make pixel art
Make pixel art for Minecraft blueprints
Use the Minecraft palette to make pixel art blueprints you can rebuild block by block in-game — portraits, logos, and landscapes all downscale cleanly.
Make pixel art map banners
Downscale to a small grid and match map-block colors when you make pixel art for wall-mounted map art and server banners.
Make pixel art for Perler beads
Each block becomes one bead when you make pixel art at a small pixel size with a limited palette — perfect for pegboard patterns.
Make pixel art cross-stitch charts
Low color counts become stitch charts: one square per stitch, the palette as your thread list when you make pixel art from photos.
Make pixel art game sprites
Shrink to a chunky pixel size with a console palette to make pixel art characters and icons in NES or Game Boy style.
