image to pxon

need pxon of an image to import into a pxon-enabled app for some reason? upload the image and get a bunch of weird code back that is actually a format of javascript object notation (json) that i call pxon.

why?

make8bitart.com, my favorite free in-browser pixel art editor (and hopefully yours too because i made it), doesn't have an image file import yet but it does have an import for pxon. this is a quick fix for people who are really itching to import images without me having to do a huge feature build when i virtually have zero time for such a task!

how?

upload an image in the following form and this page will be replaced with a blob of PXON which you should paste into an empty file and save with the .json extension (for example, save as image.json) you can then upload it to any app that accepts pxon as an import format!

that all being said, this is not an ideal way to use pxon and i need to just find the time to build an import image file into make8bitart.com. every day is a winding road and also the larger the image you upload here the longer it will take to return the pxon! i don't save the images or the pxon, so if you email me asking for pxon you generated in the past i'm sorry but you're out of luck :P

of course, this is open source on glitch :)
