Pyxelate is a Python library and CLI tool that converts images into 8-bit pixel art by downsampling and learning a reduced color palette. It extends scikit-learn transformers so a learned palette can be reused across similar images, with support for dithering and transparency.
Use cases
- convert photos to pixel art
- generate 8-bit sprites from images
- reduce image color palette
- apply retro pixel art style to images
- batch pixelate images from the command line
- create pixel art assets for retro games
When to choose
- you want to pixelate images programmatically in Python
- you need a reusable color palette across similar images
- you want CLI-based image pixelation
- you need transparency support for sprite generation
When to avoid
- you need generative AI-based pixel art creation
- you need general-purpose image editing
- you work outside Python and don't want a CLI
