SAME PIXELS. MORE ROOM.
Pixel Art Upscaler
Your tiny sprite, ready for a bigger stage. Enlarge every pixel into a clean square, with no smoothing or invented detail.

Make it bigger. Keep it yours.
A pixel art upscaler starts with artwork that is already made of pixels. This tool repeats each source pixel by a whole-number scale, preserving its color and transparency. It is useful for sprites, game previews, presentation images and crisp reference sheets.
- Upload a pixel-art PNG, or try the built-in sample. PNG keeps transparency and avoids JPEG compression artifacts.
- Choose a whole-number scale from 2× to 16×. Check the exact output width and height before downloading.
- Compare the original and enlarged image, then save the PNG. The maximum output is 16 megapixels, with neither edge over 8,192 pixels.
For a new image-based design, start with the pixel art maker. For a full-size mosaic, use Pixelate image.
BEFORE YOU MAKE
Your project questions.
Does this use AI?
No. Nearest-neighbor scaling copies each pixel into an exact square block. It does not infer detail, change the palette or sharpen the drawing.
Can I upscale pixel art without blur?
Yes. Whole-number scales keep pixel widths consistent and this tool does not blend adjacent colors. A 16×16 image at 4× becomes 64×64 pixels.
Is this a photo-to-pixel-art converter?
No. Use the pixel art maker for photo conversion. This page enlarges an existing image without reducing its colors or changing its pixel grid.
Will a transparent PNG stay transparent?
Yes. Each pixel’s original RGBA values are repeated, including partial transparency. PNG export preserves the alpha channel.
Can I upload an animated GIF?
A GIF is opened as a still frame. This version exports a single PNG and does not upscale animations.
Why is a scale unavailable for my image?
An output over 16 megapixels or 8,192 pixels on either side would use too much browser memory. Choose a smaller scale or source image.
