Redraw any sprite, tile set or picture using only the colours of a palette you choose. Pick a classic, paste your own HEX codes or load a palette file. Nothing leaves your device.
Made on your device. Your images are never uploaded.
How it works
Choose, drop or paste a sprite, a tile set, a drawing or a photo. A whole folder works too.
Pick a classic such as PICO-8 or Endesga 32, paste your own HEX codes, or load a palette file.
Every pixel now uses a colour of the palette. Save one image or the whole batch as a ZIP.
Apply Palette to Image
Sweetie 16, PICO-8, Endesga 32, DawnBringer, Game Boy, Commodore 64 and more, ready to use.
Paste HEX codes, or load a .hex, .gpl or .pal file, or a palette image.
Pattern and diffusion dithering blend colours for gradients and shading.
Drag the line across the preview to compare the original with the recoloured image.
In detail
Every pixel is replaced by the palette colour closest to it, judged the way eyes see colour difference rather than by raw numbers, so skin tones and greens land where you expect.
The image keeps its size. Transparent areas stay transparent, and half-transparent edges become fully solid or fully clear, as pixel art expects.
Paste HEX codes in any layout: one per line or separated by commas, with or without the #. Palette files from Lospec, Aseprite, GIMP and Krita (.hex, .gpl, .pal) load directly, and so does a palette image, where every colour in the picture becomes a palette colour.
With None, each pixel simply takes the nearest colour, which is right for art that is already pixel art. Pattern and Diffusion mix dots of two colours to suggest the shades in between, which helps photos and gradients with small palettes.
Apply Palette to Image
No. Everything runs in your browser, on your own device. Your images are never sent to Moriqa or anyone else, and nothing is kept after you close the page.
Add the image, choose a palette from the list, and download the PNG. The preview shows the recoloured image straight away, with a line you can drag to compare it with the original.
Yes. Download the palette as a .hex or .gpl file, or as a PNG image, and choose Load a palette file. You can also paste its HEX codes.
No, only the colours change. To turn a photo into pixel art first, use Image to Pixel Art.
From 2 to 256.
Use Color Palette from Image to pull the main colours out, download them as a HEX file, and load that file here.
Moriqa’s pixel art editor has PICO-8, Endesga 32 and other palettes built in and loads palette files, so new sprites match the ones you recoloured. Free in your browser.
