About the pixelator effect

This effect creates rounded pixel art from your images. It gives a circular pixelated look — with dots, rounded or square pixels — in different sizes, from small to large. With this effect you can create a pointillism-style look and even abstract compositions or backgrounds. It creates a feeling of flowing, liquid compositions — evoking digital mosaic art and dotted imagery. Control pixel size, shape and intensity to create retro game-style visuals, modern pixel art compositions or abstract digital mosaics from photos.

Tips

Try small rounded dots for an elegant pointillism feel.
Use large square pixels for a clean retro-game look.
Push the dot size further to abstract the image into a pattern background.

Common uses

Retro-game thumbnails, abstract backgrounds, pop-art posters, gallery prints, social media graphics and any project that needs an instantly recognisable pixel mosaic.
