Abstract: Creating pixel art is a laborious process that requires artists to place individual pixels by hand. Although many image editors provide vector-to-raster conversions, the results produced do not meet the standards of pixel art: artifacts such as jaggies or broken lines frequently occur. We describe a novel Pixelation algorithm that rasterizes vector line art while adhering to established conventions used by pixel artists. We compare our results through a user study to those generated by Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, as well as hand-drawn samples by both amateur and professional pixel artists.
