About Pixel It
Pixel It converts an uploaded image into pixel art. Users set the pixel block size and can apply a color palette or convert the image to grayscale. The homepage describes a live demo where users can upload an image, adjust these settings, and download the result. Output size can be limited with maximum height and width settings.
The site also documents a JavaScript library, pixelit.js, for developers. It requires an image element and a canvas element with the id pixelitcanvas. Methods include draw, pixelate, convertGrayscale, convertpalette, and saveImage, and the pixelation scale ranges from 0 to 50. The page notes that the order in which chained methods are applied can change the final image. Pricing is not stated, and the project is not listed as open source.

Pixel It FAQ
What palette file formats can be uploaded?
The page names .hex files, pixilart.com TXT files, and Paint.net TXT files. It states that other files in a csv-like format probably work, but this is not confirmed.
Can the converted image be downloaded?
Yes. The demo includes a Download Image option, and the API provides a saveImage method that saves or downloads the current image.
Does the tool require coding to use?
No. The homepage offers a live demo where settings are changed in the browser. Coding is needed only when using the pixelit.js library in a web page.
