Turn your photo into Minecraft pixel art

Minecraft pixel art: turn your photo into a printable grid

In Minecraft, pixel art is built block by block on a square grid. Our tool converts your photo into pixel art at exact Minecraft dimensions: 16×16 blocks for a compact result, 32×32 blocks for a larger, more detailed build. Each grid cell matches a Minecraft block — the number tells you which color of wool or colored concrete to use.

Print your numbered grid in A4 and use it as a blueprint to build your pixel art in-game. The legend at the bottom of the sheet maps each number to a color, making block selection easy. Perfect for recreating your favorite character, a logo or a portrait as Minecraft pixel art.

How many blocks for a Minecraft pixel art?

A 16×16 grid needs at most 256 blocks (often fewer when several cells share a color). A 32×32 grid needs up to 1,024 blocks. With 6 to 8 colors, the required blocks are easy to find — colored wool, colored concrete or colored terracotta are the most common materials in Minecraft pixel art.
