Turn any image into
spreadsheet art
A delightfully pointless tool that converts your photos into Excel pixel masterpieces. Because life is also made of fun.
✨ The Magic
Every cell becomes a pixel. Every spreadsheet becomes art.
Your image
Excel pixel art
Even the busiest people need a break. This tool serves no practical purpose — and that's precisely the point. Take five minutes. Make something silly. Send your boss a spreadsheet that's secretly a cat. — A gift from Rondanini Publishing
