From photo to pixel art
Perfect gift idea! DIY with glue-by-numbers principle
Are you ready to turn your favorite photo into a work of art?
It's not just a DIY project: It's a creative journey into what's truly important to you. A work of art with heart – and a lasting memory. Your very own pixel image – created from a moment that means a lot to you.
Maybe it's a moment of laughter on vacation, a look between two people that speaks louder than words, or the familiar face of your favorite furry friend. Now imagine how that exact moment comes to life again, dot by dot. Not printed. Not painted. But created by you – with every color, with every adhesive dot, a piece of memory.
Whether alone, in peace and quiet, or together with your loved ones, you'll pause. Smile. Marvel. And notice how gluing not only shapes your motif, but also brings back a feeling. And how you create a small memorial to this memory in a very special way.
My Pixelart is more than a picture. It is your moment, your creativity, your story - and it is waiting to be told by you.
This is especially true
Immerse yourself in a relaxing creative technique and create your own work of art, or simply to unwind and relieve stress. Create your own pixel art dot by dot. It's easy. And with a trendy look. No drying paint. No plastic. No frills.

The perfect pixel art motif
To ensure your pixel art motif works well, you should pay attention to the following points:
- Clear contrasts: The greater the difference between subject and background, the better the effect.
- Not too many people: Portraits with 1-2 people or animals in focus are ideal.
- Reduced details: Small patterns, many fine lines or busy backgrounds get lost in the pixelation or make the subject look restless.
- Pay attention to lighting conditions: Avoid harsh shadows or bright backlighting.
FAQ
Answers to your questionsYou upload your favorite photo, we dot it into a paste-by-numbers artwork, and send you an email with our proposal for approval (or corrections). After your approval, we'll custom print your poster or board with your color codes. You'll then receive your My Pixelart with a grid and color codes, as well as the matching adhesive dots – then it's time to stick your design dot by dot!

Not at all. The principle is super simple – you glue by numbers. So, color 01 on all surfaces with the code 01. All glue dots of color 02 on the surfaces with 02, etc.
No painting, no drawing. Just the joy of creating.
Depending on the image size, your pace, and whether you're working alone or with a group, it will take approximately 2–5 hours. This is ideal for relaxing creative time, me-time, or shared DIY moments, for example, at parties.
In fact, our experience has shown that the motifs are always finished: some guests always get into a gluing frenzy and want to finish sticking the motif!
In principle, photos with 2 to 4 people are also possible – but there are a few things you should keep in mind when selecting your image: Clear contrasts . Not too many people. Reduced details . Consider lighting conditions.
