About Minecraft Pixel Art Generator

This tool converts any image into a Minecraft pixel art building plan — entirely in your browser. Upload a photo, logo, or sprite, choose your output size (from 16×16 to 128×128 blocks or a custom dimension), and the tool maps each pixel to the closest matching Minecraft block colour using Euclidean distance in RGB space.

Use the zoom slider to get a clear view of the grid at any scale. Hover over any block to see its exact block type name in the tooltip. When you're ready to build, toggle the Block Shopping List to get a complete breakdown of every block type and how many you need — perfect for survival mode preparation.

The palette includes over 80 blocks across Concrete, Wool, Terracotta, and natural materials — giving you broad colour coverage for accurate results. Download your plan as a PNG to reference while building in-game. No data ever leaves your browser.

FAQ

What image formats can I upload?

Any format your browser supports natively — JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF (first frame used), and BMP all work. The tool reads the image using an HTML canvas, so it handles whatever the browser can decode.

Which Minecraft blocks does the tool use for colour matching?

The palette covers over 80 blocks across Concrete, Wool, Terracotta, and natural materials like sand and stone. Concrete blocks are particularly useful because their colours are consistent and vibrant — ideal for pixel art.

What is the maximum output size I can generate?

Preset sizes range from 16×16 up to 128×128 blocks. You can also enter a custom width and height. Very large outputs (200+ blocks) will require a significant amount of materials in-game.

Can I download my pixel art building plan?

Yes — click the Download button to save a PNG image of the colour grid. Print it or keep it open on a second screen as a visual reference while you build in-game.

How accurate is the block colour matching?

The tool uses Euclidean distance in RGB space to find the closest matching block for each pixel. The result is a close approximation — the limited palette means very subtle gradients and near-identical shades may map to the same block, but the overall image is highly recognisable.
