The Pixel Art Effect app lets you turn your photo into video game pixel art. The effect ranges from modern pixel art which has a more subtle pixelated effect (many small pixels) to retro pixel art which is made up of fewer larger pixels.

Step 1:

To convert your image, simply tap the "Add a Photo" button and choose a file that is in .jpg, .png or .gif format.

Step 2 (optional):

The pixel art maker has an optional outline type that can be set. This is the outline style used to draw the picture. If you're looking to achieve a more cartoonish look, the dark option is recommended. There is also a slider to define the size of pixels. You can also choose between color or black and white.

Step 3:

Tap the "Apply Effect" button.

After your picture has been pixelated, you can save it and if you'd like, you can share it to Facebook, Twitter, Google+, VK or any other social network, forum or site and set the picture as a profile picture, cover photo etc.
