Minecraft Pixel Art Generator

Turn any picture into Minecraft blocks. Choose how many blocks wide it should be and which blocks you have, then get a numbered block plan, a list of every block with stacks of 64, and PNG and CSV files. Works for walls, floors and flat map art.

The block colours this tool uses

Each colour is one of Minecraft's map base colours from the Minecraft Wiki map colour table (marked checked for Java Edition 1.21.5; read 27 October 2026). The first block named is our pick of an easy, solid block with that map colour; the others share it. "Flat map" is the shade a flat build shows on a map: each value × 220 ÷ 255, rounded down. Water is left out because its map colour depends on depth.

How to make Minecraft pixel art from a picture

  1. Choose your image. Drop it on the box above, paste it, or press Choose image. Simple pictures with bold shapes, like logos, game characters and emoji, turn out best.
  2. Set the width in blocks. 32 to 64 blocks suits a small wall; 128 is one map wide. The height follows the picture's shape and is shown under the preview.
  3. Tick the blocks you have. Wool, concrete and terracotta give 32 flat colours and are the usual choice. Add more groups for extra shades.
  4. Download the block plan and build it row by row. Point at any cell in the preview to see the block and its column and row.

What you get

  • Block plan PNG: every block as a numbered cell, a bold line every 16 blocks (one chunk) to help you count, column and row numbers, and the numbered list of blocks with counts.
  • Materials list: each block, how many you need and how many stacks of 64 that is (most items stack to 64: Minecraft Wiki, Inventory, checked 27 October 2026), also as a CSV for a spreadsheet.
  • Grid CSV: one block name per cell, row by row, for checking a build in a spreadsheet or for your own scripts.
  • Picture PNG: the block colours as a crisp picture, one square per block, to share or to trace.

Wall or floor build vs flat map art

Wall or floor uses each block's map base colour as a stand-in for how it looks. Real blocks have textures and shading in game, so treat these colours as close, not exact: a wool wall will look a little different from the preview.

Flat map art is for pictures you view on a map item. A flat build shows every block as its base colour × 220 ÷ 255, so this mode matches to those exact shades and turns on every block group. One map shows 128 × 128 blocks; a bigger picture needs several maps placed side by side. Staircase map art (blocks at different heights for extra shades) is not covered here.

FAQ

How do I convert an image into Minecraft pixel art?

Choose the image, set the width in blocks, tick the blocks you want to use, and download the block plan. Then build it in the game one row at a time, following the numbers.

Which blocks are best for pixel art?

Wool, concrete and terracotta: they are flat, solid colours, and together give 32 colours. Wool and concrete share a map colour, so the tool lists them together ("Red wool / concrete"): use whichever you prefer.

Are the colours exact?

For flat map art, yes: they match the flat-map shade from the Minecraft Wiki's map colour table. For walls and floors they are approximate, because they are map colours, not averages of each block's texture. We do not use Mojang's texture files.

How big should my pixel art be?

It depends on the picture: watch the preview while you change the width. More blocks give more detail but take much longer to build: a 128 × 128 picture is 16,384 blocks. The total and the number of stacks are shown under the preview.

Should I use dithering?

Dithering mixes two blocks in a dot pattern so that, from a distance, you see a shade in between. It helps photos and gradients but makes the build harder to follow. For logos and cartoons, leave it off.

Does it work for Bedrock Edition?

Mostly. The colour table was checked for Java Edition, and a few blocks show a different map colour in Bedrock (the wiki marks them). The wiki marks no Java/Bedrock difference for wool, concrete or terracotta. Blocks marked "(Java)" here are Java-only for that colour.

Does this tool upload my image?

No. Your image is opened and converted by your browser on your own device and is never sent to a server. The page counts visits and finished downloads (tool name only) with analytics that sets no cookies, and no image data is ever sent (see privacy).

Is this an official Minecraft tool?

No. CrispKit is not affiliated with Mojang or Microsoft. The block colours are numbers from the community-run Minecraft Wiki, and no game files are included.
