Turn an Image into Minecraft Pixel Art

A generic image-to-pixel converter reduces a picture to ordinary pixel colors. This Minecraft image converter maps the reduced colors to supported Minecraft blocks, so the result can be reviewed as block choices and material quantities.

Choose a Size and Minecraft Block Palette

Choose a target Width while Height follows the source aspect ratio. Each generated pixel then corresponds to a block choice from the current 49-block Concrete, Wool, and Terracotta catalog for Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.5.

Edit Your Minecraft Pixel Art Before Building

Open the generated Design in the Canvas Editor to Paint or Erase cells, Pick a block from the design, search the block Palette, reuse Recent Blocks, Undo or Redo changes, Pan, Zoom, and toggle the Grid.

Check Block Counts and Materials

Build Information is derived from the current Design. It shows dimensions, total placed blocks, distinct materials, and the quantity of every material after generation and relevant Canvas edits.
