Minecraft pixel art generator
How to build your pixel art in Minecraft
- Pick the width: the height follows your image. Wider means more detail and more blocks.
- Choose a block set. Concrete for bold sprites and logos; add terracotta for faces and landscapes.
- Turn on dithering for photos: it mixes neighbouring blocks to fake in-between colours. Leave it off for logos and sprites.
- Gather the blocks from the list. Counts are given in stacks of 64.
- Download the CSV: each row of the file is one row of blocks, left to right, so you can build line by line.
Which images convert well
Simple shapes, strong outlines and a few flat colours give the cleanest result: game sprites, stickers, logos, pets on a plain background. Busy photos work at 96 to 128 blocks with dithering on. If your picture is a photo, crop tight to the subject first; background detail costs blocks without adding anything.
Map art: 128 × 128
One Minecraft map shows exactly 128 × 128 blocks, so set the width to 128 and build flat on the ground to turn your image into a map item you can frame. Larger images span several maps placed side by side.
Start from pixel art made with AI
Sprites and stickers convert best. The creations above were generated with GPT Image 2.6 and come with their prompts; download one, drop it into the generator, or remix it with your own character.
Questions
Is this Minecraft pixel art generator free?
Yes. It runs entirely in your browser: the image never leaves your device, there is no sign-up and no limit.
What size should Minecraft pixel art be?
32 blocks wide for a quick wall piece, 64 for a detailed build, 128 for map art: one Minecraft map covers exactly 128×128 blocks.
Concrete, wool or terracotta?
Concrete gives the brightest, flattest colours. Wool is softer but burns. Terracotta adds earthy browns and muted tones that help skin and landscapes. 'All' mixes them for the closest match.
How do I count how many blocks I need?
The list next to the preview counts every block and converts it to stacks of 64, so you know exactly what to gather or bring from creative.
Does it work for Bedrock and Java?
Yes. Concrete, wool and terracotta exist in both editions with the same colours.
