Does the PNG converter keep transparency?

Yes. Transparent areas stay transparent in the pixel art output, because conversion preserves the alpha channel — ideal for logos, sprites, and stickers.

What is the best block size for a PNG logo?

24 to 32 blocks wide keeps a logo readable at a glance. For detailed sprites, try 48 blocks and the full-color palette so small color differences survive.

Why choose PNG over JPG for pixel art?

PNG is lossless and supports transparency, so edges stay clean and you can export a pixel PNG with a transparent background. JPG is better for smooth photo gradients. See the JPG converter for photo workflows.

tips

Pixel art from PNGs: transparency is the superpower

A PNG can carry an alpha channel, and Pixvael respects it all the way through the pipeline: transparent edges are weighted correctly during downsampling, so you never get dirty gray halos, and the exported pixel PNG keeps a transparent background. That makes PNG the right input for logos, game sprites, and stickers you want to drop onto any background. Use a small block size (4-8) for detailed artwork, and the full-color palette to preserve brand colors exactly.

when to use

Logos and sprites vs photo pixel art

Start with a PNG whenever the source has transparency or flat color areas — a logo, an icon, a game sprite sheet. Photos usually arrive as JPG or WebP; the JPG converter and WebP converter cover those. If your PNG pixel art is destined for a Minecraft build, jump to the build planner to map it to blocks and count materials.

Transparent stays transparent

The output PNG keeps a transparent background — no white fill, no halos.

edges

Clean edges for logos

Alpha-weighted downsampling keeps crisp, unpolluted edges on cut-out artwork.

export

Sprite-ready output

Small block sizes produce sprite-sheet-friendly results at any width you choose.
