Image to blocks

Minecraft pixel art from your own images

Convert a photo, drawing or graphic into Minecraft block mosaics and preview the result before placing it in a Java world.

Turn images into block art

Upload an image

Use PNG, JPG or WebP artwork.

Choose the look

Adjust block palette, output size and dithering to balance detail and block count.

Place and preview

Make a standing wall mosaic or flat map-art-style design, then inspect it in your world.

How the image conversion works

Craftplicator samples image colours onto a Minecraft block grid. When reducing the resolution, source pixels are averaged within each block-sized area rather than simply selecting one pixel. The resulting colours are matched against your chosen block families.

Wall art or flat art

Choose a standing mosaic for murals and signage, or a horizontal mosaic for ground-based or map-art-style builds. Position the footprint against real terrain and use the preview to check scale and alignment.

Tips for recognizable mosaics

  • Start with a high-contrast image and a clearly defined subject.
  • Choose a larger block grid when fine detail matters.
  • Use concrete for saturated colours; consider terracotta or wool for softer palettes.
  • Reduce dithering for logos and sharp-edged illustrations.
  • Preview from the player’s viewpoint before freezing placement.
