Convert a photo, character, logo, or AI-generated image into Minecraft pixel art. The picture is shrunk to a grid whose width you set in blocks, and each cell is automatically snapped to the nearest real Minecraft block colour — the 16 concrete or wool dye colours. Unlike plain pixelation, that gives you a per-colour block count: a ready-made materials list of how many blocks of each colour you need, along with the total block count and the finished size in blocks. Cap the number of colours to keep the build manageable: rarely used colours are merged into the nearest kept colour. Switch the block set between concrete and wool, and overlay a counting grid with heavier lines every 16 blocks — matching Minecraft's chunk boundaries — so you can lay it out row by row in-game. Save the finished blueprint as a PNG to follow on a second screen. Transparent areas of the image get no block, so a PNG with a transparent background becomes a blueprint of just the character or motif. It's great for building a photo, logo, or favourite character in Minecraft. Your settings (blocks wide, max blocks, block set, grid) are remembered for next time. Nothing to install and nothing to upload — loading, converting, and saving all happen locally in your browser, so your image is never sent anywhere.
How to use
- Drop the image (photo, character art, logo, or AI image) you want to turn into pixel art (or click to choose, or paste with Ctrl/Cmd+V).
- Set the size with "blocks wide", how many colours with "max blocks", and pick the block set (concrete or wool).
- Check the per-colour block counts (materials list), total, and finished size, then click "Download PNG" to save the blueprint.
FAQ
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Loading, converting, and saving all happen in your browser. The image is never uploaded, stored, or sent anywhere — everything is processed only on your device.
Does it tell me how many blocks of each colour I need?
Yes. Each cell is snapped to a real Minecraft block colour, and the tool lists the block count for every colour used (most-used first), plus the total block count and the finished size in blocks, so you can use it as a materials list.
Can I choose between concrete and wool?
Yes. The block set switch toggles between concrete and wool. Both use the 16 dye colours, but each cell is snapped to the chosen material's actual colours and the block-list names update to match.
Can I reduce the number of colours to make it easier?
Yes. Lower "max blocks" to cap how many colours are used. Rarely used colours are merged into the nearest kept colour, so the build stays manageable with fewer block types to gather.
Is there anything to help me place blocks in-game?
Yes. You can overlay a counting grid with heavier lines every 16 blocks, which lines up with Minecraft's chunks, so it's easy to count positions and place blocks row by row. Transparent areas get no block, so you can build just a character or motif.
