Questions

Is it a real pixel grid I can count?

No. You get an image drawn in a pixel art style, not an exact grid or bead pattern. It looks like pixel art, but pixel sizes aren't perfectly uniform, so it isn't meant as a stitching or bead chart.

8-bit or 16-bit — what's the difference?

8-bit uses big pixels and very few colors, like early game consoles. 16-bit has smaller pixels and richer colors, so faces keep more detail.

Can I turn my pet into pixel art?

Yes — pick “Pixel pet” or describe it. A clear photo of your pet facing the camera works best.

Is it free?

Sign in and claim a free credit every day — enough for one Flow Lite image. Plans and credit packs are on the pricing page.

Can I use it as a profile picture?

Yes. Choose the 1:1 ratio in the composer before you generate, and the result is ready to use as an avatar.

Who can see my photos?
