About this tool

Normal image resizers blur pixel art into mush because they blend neighboring pixels. This upscaler multiplies every pixel into a clean block instead, so a 16 × 16 Minecraft texture or a 32 × 32 sprite becomes a sharp 256 or 512 pixel image for thumbnails, wikis, documentation, and social posts.

Whole-number factors keep the grid exact. Use 4× to 8× for previews and 16× for print or wallpapers. Transparency is preserved, and you can switch to smooth scaling if the image is a photo rather than pixel art.

How to use it

  1. Drop your PNG, JPG, WebP or GIF files into the box above, or click to browse. Nothing is uploaded.
  2. Adjust the options if you want; the defaults suit most files.
  3. Click the button and wait a moment.
  4. Download the results individually or all at once as a ZIP.

Questions

Why does my pixel art look blurry when I resize it elsewhere?

Most tools use bilinear or bicubic interpolation, which averages neighboring pixels. Nearest-neighbor scaling copies each pixel into a solid block, keeping the art crisp.

Can I upscale a photo with this?

You can, but photos look blocky with crisp scaling. Switch the scaling option to smooth, or use the Resize Image tool.

Does it work with transparent PNGs?

Yes. Transparency is kept exactly.

Is it free, are files uploaded, which browsers work: the general questions are answered once for the whole site.
