Turn Any Image into Minecraft Map Art
Convert an image into a map-art blueprint, choose how many maps you want to use, and preview the complete wall before you start building.
Map art settings
Choose the map-wall size and how your image should fit.
Landscape and square images are usually easiest to fit into a map wall.
Larger map walls give you more pixels to work with, but require more maps and more building space.
Choose whether to fill the wall, preserve the whole image, or crop it to a square.
Light dithering is a good starting point. Strong dithering creates a more obvious texture.
The map palette is intended as the color-matching basis for the blueprint.

What is Minecraft map art?
Minecraft map art is artwork designed to be displayed on in-game maps. At the base map scale, one map represents a 128 × 128 block area, giving you a fixed pixel grid to work with.
Larger artwork can be divided across several maps. For example, a 2 × 2 map wall provides a 256 × 256 pixel canvas, while a 4 × 4 wall provides a 512 × 512 canvas.
Map art is different from ordinary Minecraft wall pixel art because the final image has to work within the colors and rendering behavior of maps. A dedicated map-art workflow can therefore produce a more useful blueprint than simply shrinking an image with a general pixel-art converter.
