Engine v1.0
Forge pixels. Command ASCII.
Refine with control.
BitKiln converts your images into pixel art and ASCII art — with professional-grade controls, animated output, and the kind of creative range that most tools don't even know is possible.
Pixel perfection. By design.
Professional-grade image conversion, built for artists and designers.
Pro-grade image controls
Brightness, contrast, shadows, highlights and more. Draw directly on the canvas for pixel-perfect finishing.
Dithering, your way
Choose your dithering model and color depth, from raw 1-bit up to 16-color with hand-picked palettes.
Export without compromise
Fully vectorized SVG, PNG, animated GIF, or TXT. Every format, every use case, clean every time.
ASCII, down to the character
Choose from curated character sets and set density thresholds to control exactly how your output renders.
Forged in motion.
Give your pixel or ASCII creations a pulse with unique animations.
Automate filter thresholds over time and your work comes alive — whether that's pixel art shifting through color and light, or ASCII characters flickering in and out like a signal coming through. Add pixel-perfect text with a custom-drawn alphabet that maps directly to the grid. Two mediums, both in motion, both entirely yours.
