WLED Pixel Art Converter

Turn photos, logos, and drawings into pixel art that plays live on your WLED 2D LED matrix — no manual frame editing required.

Three ways to create pixel art

Draw on your matrix

Use Pipplee's built-in editor to paint pixel-by-pixel on a grid that matches your exact panel size. See results on real LEDs in real time.

Upload an image

Import PNG or JPG files. Pipplee converts them to matrix-friendly pixel art with smart color reduction and resizing.

Design in the browser

Try our free pixel art editor on the web to sketch ideas before sending them to your panel via the app.

How conversion works

1
Set your matrix size

Pipplee reads your WLED 2D dimensions — 16×16, 32×32, or custom.

2
Draw or import

Create art in the editor or upload an existing image file.

3
Auto-convert & optimize

Colors are mapped to your LED strip's gamut; frames become WLED presets.

4
Play instantly

Tap play — your pixel art appears on the physical matrix.
