[v2025.0] Pixelmash – Transform picture into resolution-independent, non-destructive pixel art

Pixelmash is a cross-platform pixel art editor that is perfect for retro-style 2D video game projects. It can easily create pixel art from photos, sketches, or scratches on Windows and Mac platforms, specially developed for 2D game makers, pixel artists, pixel hobbyists, and any lovers of the 8-bit and 16-bit eras.

Pixelmash is an image pixelation software that brings a brand-new approach to the pixel art field. It creates stunning pixel art works by direct drawing or importing high-resolution images and then non-destructively pixelating them and applying other layer effects. You can use it to transform your own photo collections into pixelated paintings in order to make it look more artistic. In addition, after the pixelation of image, Pixelmash also supports the customization to the corresponding detailed parameters.

In a word, with this innovative new pixel art and animation tool based on non-destructive pixelization, you can do a lot of cool things. For example: create animations using layer transforms rather than having to paint every frame pixel-by-pixel; make outlines, shading, and dithering easily adjustable by having them applied as layer effects; easily create different resolutions and color variants of the same image; convert photos or other hi-res artwork into pixel art using layer effects and the resolution slider, and so on.
