The prompt

Turn my photo into a 16-bit pixel art avatar. A fixed pixel grid with every pixel sharp-edged — no anti-aliasing, no soft gradients. A limited palette of about 24 colours with deliberate dithering for shading. Keep my recognisable features readable at this resolution: hair shape and colour, skin tone, glasses, facial hair. Head and shoulders, centred, on a flat single-colour background. Crisp and legible when displayed small.

“Use it” opens the editor with this prompt already loaded — add your photo and generate. Copy works anywhere else: ChatGPT, Gemini, Midjourney.

One thing that helps

Pixel art must not be upscaled smoothly. Ask for 'hard pixel edges, no anti-aliasing'.
