PixelIt converts photos into retro pixel art on the device. Users can choose palettes inspired by Game Boy, NES, PICO-8, and one-bit artwork, then adjust pixel resolution, color count, brightness, contrast, saturation, and dithering. The app also supports custom palettes and exporting images, GIFs, or sprite sheets for use as profile pictures, avatars, and other creative work. The developer says photos are processed locally and are never uploaded. PixelIt Premium adds more styles, palettes, and editing improvements, with monthly subscription or lifetime purchase options; captured prices were not stated. The free download includes the core photo-to-pixel conversion, but the listing does not say which export features include a watermark or require Premium beyond the listed removal option. This is a focused transform tool, not a full pixel-art drawing or animation editor.
