A totally free online tool for designing pixel-art creations from predefined or custom-defined palettes of colors.
With this online tool, no personal data is captured or stored: there is no server, and you save and open your projecs from local file storage.
A typical usage of this tool is for making fuse beads designs (with HAMA or Perler, for example). But you can use it for any other pixel-type designing case (Lego, sprites, ...). By default, we provide the palette of HAMA beads colors, but you can create your own custom palette of colors for other usages.
You can also set a background image on your design grid to help you build your creation or start off from an existing picture. We provide a powerful automatic generation of the pixel grid by choosing the best-suited color for each pixel based on the colors you have declared available in your palette.
Note that Pixelizer is 100% touch-compatible for using with tablets.
Change the size of the grid by adding or removing rows and columns on either side (left/right/top/bottom):
Manage your palette:
Load / save a palette.
Select which colors in the palette you actually have available.
Change the way you visualize the grid:
Zoom-in / Zoom-out.
Fit all the grid in the visible area.
Auto-fit the grid: zoom-in or zoom-out will automatically be applied as you add or remove rows and columns to your grid.
Display / hide a background to the grid (see the "Start your project from an existing image" section below).
Display / hide grid borders to better see the grid or the final result of your design.
Display / hide color numbers in the grid.
Edit the grid content:
Define the current color by picking one in the palette. Then click anywhere in the grid to insert a pixel.
Delete pixels.
CTRL-z to roll-back.
Visualize color count used in the grid.
For quicker editing, you can CTRL-select pixels in the grid to change the current color (CTRL-select an empty pixel to enter delete mode).
If you have a model image, you can start your project from it:
Click to select a local image file or drag & drop an image from a web page (this might not always work if the image resource is not reusable).
Ajust the cropping of this image.
Display the image in the background to help you choose the best-suited colors at each grid location.
You can also ask to automatically fill the grid with the best-suited colors. Note that it will only use the colors that you marked as "available" in your palette.
Manage your project:
Save your project as a local zip file, and load it again anytime.
