Convert Any Image to Retro Pixel Art
Upload a reference photo and use image-to-image generation to shift it into an 8-bit pixel aesthetic while keeping the core composition intact. Adjust style strength so faces, landscapes, or logos remain recognizable under chunky pixels and dithered shading. It is ideal for profile pictures, album art, and character portraits with a retro gaming twist.
