Pixel Art Templates

Not sure what to draw? Pick a starter pixel-art grid below, open it in the editor, and make it your own — change the colors, add details, or use it as a guide for drawing the shape freehand.

Easy pixel art for beginners

Big, simple shapes with only one to three colors — a good first grid for young kids.

Pixel art animals

Friendly, generic animals built from blocky shapes. Recolor them to look like a pet or a made-up creature.

Holiday & seasonal pixel art

Autumn and winter subjects for classroom displays, cards and seasonal decorations.

Why start from a template?

Every template above is a real, editable pixel-art grid — click one to open it directly in the pixel art maker, where you can recolor any square, add your own details, and save the result as a PNG. Templates are a great way to get started when you know you want to make pixel art but aren't sure what to draw first. Every design here is an original, generic picture — no cartoon or game characters.
