Turn 3D Models into Pixel Art in Seconds

Create ready-to-use pixel art from any 3D model — without manually redrawing every single pixel.

3D to Pixel is a simple, free, browser-based tool that lets you turn 3D models into pixel art graphics.

Upload your model, choose the right angle and style, adjust the settings, and export the finished image as a PNG. That’s it! No unnecessary complexity — just upload, frame, customize, and download.

I created this app mainly for quickly prototyping 2D games, but it can also be used to create game assets, items, pixel art animations, icons, sprites, and many other things I probably haven’t even thought of yet :D

If you enjoy using the tool, don’t forget to support the project!
