Simple User Guide

Welcome to Excel Pixel Art Tool! Transform any image or custom design into vibrant pixel art using Excel’s colorable cells.

The video below uses the free version. I'll record videos for the formal version later. Stay tuned.

Workflow:

1. Use our free Image2Pixel web tool to convert images into CSV format for Excel.
2. Import your CSV, then freely edit each cell color with single-click, batch replace, or advanced palette/grayout/invert tools.
3. Export the final art by selecting the range you need. Paste it into Excel, Paint, Word, or other image editing programs and save it as PNG/JPG for use in games, logos, mosaics, posts, and more.

Tips:

• Simple images with high-contrast outlines work best.
• Enhance your source image at pixelartvillage.com for quick palette adjustment and noise reduction.

Notice:

• If you encounter issues with button sizes, we recommend selecting all cells by clicking the triangle at the top-left corner of the worksheet, then right-click and choose "Delete Contents." Afterward, re-run the "CreatePixelArtButtons" macro to regenerate the buttons with their original layout.
• There is no standard Undo/Redo due to advanced VBA scripting. Use the custom History panel to reload your CSV for easy redo action.
