Create and print pixel art by number
Pixel art by number assigns a digit to every palette color. This keeps the grid easy to follow both on screen and on a printed sheet.
How-to · 3 minHow does the numbered grid work?
Every cell contains the number of its target color. The same number appears on the matching palette swatch. Online, each correct cell gradually reveals the reference pattern.
Numbers and grid lines can be hidden on screen without changing the project. Turn them back on whenever you need guidance.
Prepare an easy-to-print version
Choose a grid that remains readable on your paper size. A 16 × 16 grid leaves comfortable cells on a standard sheet; a more detailed grid necessarily makes each cell smaller.
“Download grid” creates a blank version with numbers and a color key. “Print” opens a dedicated layout without the studio controls.
- Check the print preview
- Print at 100% scale
- Keep the color key on the same page
- Use a short palette for a quicker activity
Adjust the difficulty
Difficulty depends on two separate settings: the number of cells and the number of colors. A large grid with few colors takes patience but remains easy to read. A small grid with many shades demands more attention to the palette.
