Pixel Art has been around for decades, and with recent advancements in technology, it has become easier than ever to create pixel art in CSS. CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets and is the language used to style webpages.
With CSS, you can define the size and color of elements in your webpages, including individual pixels.
To begin creating pixel art with CSS, you will need to set up a basic HTML page. This can be done by opening a text editor such as Notepad or TextEdit and typing in the following code:
<html>
<head>
<title>My Pixel Art Page</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>;
This code creates a basic HTML page with a title. You can then start adding your pixel art using the following code:
div class=”pixel” style=”width:1px ; height:1px ; background-color:#000000;” > < div >
.
This code creates a single black pixel with a width and height of 1px. You can then adjust the color of this pixel by changing the hexadecimal number after “background-color”. You can also adjust the size of this pixel by changing the width and height values.
You can add as many pixels as you’d like to create your desired image. Once you have created all of your pixels, you can group them together by wrapping them in another div element like so:
.
This will allow you to move all of your pixels together at once instead of having to move them individually.

“Pixel Art” is also often used to refer to sprites which are larger images created from multiple pixels. To create sprites using CSS, you will need to use an image editor such as Photoshop or GIMP that allows you to export an image as a .png file with transparency.
