Pixel Screen Overlay Effect Generator

A pixel screen overlay is an effect that makes a modern digital image look as though it's being displayed on an old, low-resolution screen. This often involves creating visible pixel blocks, adding scanlines like an old CRT monitor, and reducing the color palette to mimic the look of 8-bit or 16-bit video games.

To add a pixel effect, upload the photo you want to edit. Then, in the text prompt, describe the type of pixelated look you want. For example, you could write 'add an 8-bit pixel effect' or 'give this image a CRT screen overlay with scanlines'. The AI will then apply the effect to your image.

Yes, our tool is perfect for creating an 8-bit aesthetic. By using prompts that specify an '8-bit style' or 'retro video game look,' the AI will pixelate your image and adjust the colors to capture that classic gaming vibe.

You can control the effect through your text description. Be specific about what you want to see. For instance, you can ask for 'large, chunky pixels' for a more abstract look, or 'subtle pixelation with a glow effect' for a different style. The more detailed your prompt, the more customized your result will be.

Yes, even though the effect is designed to look low-resolution, the image you download will be a high-quality file. This ensures it looks great when used in digital projects or for print.
