What is Pixel Art?

Pixel art is a digital art form where images are created and edited at the pixel level. This style emerged in the early days of computer graphics and gaming, becoming iconic through classic video games. Today, pixel art remains popular in indie games, digital art, and retro-style designs, valued for its minimalist aesthetic and nostalgic appeal.
