Pixel Art Selfie Emojis
Turn selfie photos into pixel art-style emojis with PennyLogo.
Selfies work best when the face fills roughly the middle third of the frame, with even lighting and no extreme angles. The model latches on to skin tones, hair shape, and eye colour first — accessories like glasses are usually preserved.
Pixel-art emojis are rendered at a deliberately low resolution with a tight palette, then upscaled with nearest-neighbour so each pixel stays crisp. The result feels at home in Twitch chat, retro Discord servers, and game communities.

FAQs
Will my glasses be in the emoji?
Yes. Accessories like glasses, earrings, and visible jewellery are usually preserved.
How should I light my selfie?
Soft, even front-lighting beats anything dramatic. Window light at midday is ideal.
What resolution do pixel-art emojis ship at?
Output PNGs are upscaled to 512px with nearest-neighbour so individual pixels remain sharp.
Can I get 16x16 sprites?
Yes — re-export the result at the size you need; the pixel grid stays readable down to 16x16.
