Insert coin to continue. Our AI takes your photo back to the golden age of gaming — 8-bit pixel art sprites with limited color palettes, chunky pixels, and the nostalgic charm of quarter-fed arcade cabinets. Your face gets translated into a surprisingly recognizable pixel sprite that looks like it came straight from a 1986 arcade board.

This generator uses the Retro Arcade look, then composes it for a poster instead of a social crop. Upload a photo, spend credits, and check the paper mockup before checkout.

Custom poster FAQ

How many pixels are used?

The AI creates a portrait at a resolution that captures your key features while maintaining that authentic retro feel — similar to character sprites from classic arcade games. The output image is then scaled up to a usable resolution while preserving the crisp, blocky pixel edges.

Can I choose the color palette?

The AI automatically selects a palette that best represents your photo within retro hardware constraints — think NES or arcade cabinet color limitations. Each generation picks slightly different palette combinations, so regenerating can give you a completely different retro look.

Does it work well for gifts?

It's a huge hit with anyone who grew up in the 80s or 90s, or anyone who loves retro gaming. Pixel art portraits printed on mugs, t-shirts, or canvas make instantly nostalgic gifts. Many people create matching pixel art family portraits for a fun, geeky holiday card.
