From image to Minecraft blocks you can place
This Minecraft pixel art generator maps each pixel of your image to the closest Minecraft block color — wool, carpet, stained glass, terracotta, concrete, or all blocks. Hard edges stay, and you get block counts for in-game building.
How to convert image to Minecraft pixel art with AniPixel AI
- UploadOpen the image to Minecraft pixel art generator and pick a JPG, PNG, or WEBP. The image stays in your browser.
- Pick a paletteChoose Wool, Carpet, Stained Glass, Terracotta, Concrete, All blocks, or Map art. Map art matches the ~60 colors a map item actually renders.
- Set width and heightSet both sides in blocks (16–2560), or tap a common size. For in-game map art, use multiples of 128 so the grid hits Minecraft's 128×128 map cells.
- Optional: ditheringTurn on Floyd-Steinberg (or another dither) when a photo needs smoother gradients.
- Optional: exclude blocksIn the materials list, exclude a block you do not have and it re-maps to the next candidate.
- ExportDownload a .litematic schematic for the Litematica mod, a 1×1 split .zip, or preview the material render. Choose a flat ground build or a vertical wall mural.

Minecraft pixel art FAQ
How to convert image to pixel art Minecraft?
Upload a JPG, PNG, or WEBP, set width and height in blocks (16–2560 each) and pick a palette — Wool, Carpet, Stained Glass, Terracotta, Concrete, or All blocks — then export a .litematic schematic (or a 1×1 split .zip) to import into Minecraft or build by hand.
How do I set the size for a Minecraft map art?
A map art has to align with the game's 128×128 map grid. Set both width and height to a multiple of 128 (for example 128×128 or 256×256) — the preview then shows it as an N×N map art. If the size isn't a multiple of 128, the build won't line up with the map cells and the in-game map won't align. Then export a .litematic schematic or use the 1×1 split .zip to download it map by map.
What is image to Minecraft pixel art vs Minecraft pixel art generator?
They are the same — generator is the blueprint you build from. AniPixel maps each pixel to the closest Minecraft block color so you can rebuild it block by block.
Can I build this in Minecraft Java and Bedrock?
Yes. Counts use standard blocks (wool, concrete, terracotta, sand, planks). Build on a flat surface following the blueprint grid; one logical pixel = one block.
How do I use a .litematic schematic in Minecraft?
Export the blueprint as a .litematic file, then load it with the Litematica mod. Install Litematica (Fabric or Forge), drop the file in the schematics folder inside your game directory, and load it from the mod's Schematic Manager in game — the mod overlays every block so you place each one exactly. One logical pixel equals one block.
Pixelate vs Minecraft converter — what is the difference?
Pixelate keeps photo blocks with any color. Minecraft locks colors to the block palette so the result is buildable in game — that is why block counts matter.
What is the map art palette vs block colors?
The Map art palette matches the ~60 colors a Minecraft map actually renders, so the flat build captures correctly when you hold up a map. The other palettes match block colors for builds you view directly. In either mode, exclude a block you do not have and the converter re-maps it to the next candidate.
