pixel2bytes

This is an online utility designed to make the creation of bitmap array data for pixel art assets simple and straightforward.

Try This -->> https://raisback.github.io/pixel2bytes/

Purpose

This tool serves as a dedicated pixel editor for generating sprites used in embedded systems and microcontroller projects. Its primary function is to provide a clean drawing canvas and then output the corresponding memory representation required by hardware displays.

It allows developers and hobbyists to:

  • Visually design custom pixel sprites.
  • Generate raw bitmap arrays (pixel data) that directly represent the drawn image.
  • Easily copy the output data for seamless integration into your project code.

Compatibility & Integration

The bitmap array format generated by this editor is optimized for use with common monochrome display controllers and graphics libraries. U8g2 Library Support

  • The generated bitmap array is directly compatible with the U8g2 (Universal Graphics Library), a widely used library for Arduino and other microcontrollers.

  • Data Format: The output adheres to the library's required column-major, page-based format (8 vertical pixels packed into one byte).

Usage:

You can paste the generated data directly into your C/C++ code as a const uint8_t array and draw it onto your display using the u8g2.drawXBM() function (XBM stands for X-Bitmap).
