Tool Options

Pixel Size and Output Format

Define the size of pixel blocks.
Values greater than 1 create N×N pixel squares, which are filled with the average color of all pixels within that square.
Choose the download format for the sorted pixels.

Sorting Method

Sort horizontal rows of pixels independently.
Sort vertical columns of pixels independently.
Sort all pixels sequentially across rows from top to bottom.
Sort all pixels sequentially across columns from left to right.

Sorting Properties

Pick the criteria for sorting pixel blocks.
Sort pixel blocks in ascending or descending order.
Place partially or fully transparent pixels at the end of the sort.

Pixel Visual Appearance

Thickness of pixel block border.
Color of a pixel block border.

What Is an Image Pixel Sorter?

This tool rearranges image pixels based on the given sorting criteria. By sorting the pixels, you can analyze the color distribution in an image, decompose an image into a color spectrum, and generate unique artistic patterns. In the tool options, you can specify the pixel block size for sorting. A value of "1" will process each pixel individually, while values greater than "1" will process N×N pixel squares. For example, if you enter the value "5", then the image will be sorted 5×5 pixel blocks at a time. These grouped blocks represent the average color of the pixels within them and the sorting is performed on these average colors. You can also specify how to sort the pixels – they can be sorted within each horizontal or vertical line separately or in the entire image at once. If the pixels are sorted in the entire image, then they are treated as a single continuous strip and individual pixel line/column boundaries are ignored. The sorting criteria can be the following: brightness (amount of white light in a pixel), darkness (amount of black light in a pixel), rainbow spectrum, random order, or no sorting at all. If you select no sorting at all and the block size is larger than one pixel, then this tool will add a pixelation effect to the image. You can also choose the sorting order: ascending or descending order. For transparent images, there is an option to move semi-transparent and transparent pixels after all sorted pixels. You can also style the individual sorted pixel blocks. Specifically, you can add a border around each block and adjust the border's thickness and color. Additionally, you can control the distance between the sorted pixel blocks and add padding around the entire image. Finally, you can set the background color that will be visible between and around the sorted pixel blocks. For the download, you have a choice to save the sorted pixels in PNG, JPEG, or WebP formats.

Image Pixel Sorter Examples

Lightness-based Pixel Sorting

In this example, we sort the pixels by their brightness in an image of a curious, relaxed cat in a yellow harness. To speed up the sorting, the pixels are merged into blocks of size 5×5, so 25 pixels are sorted at once. During sorting, the pixels are moved only up or down within their original columns. The sorting order is set to decreasing brightness order (from dark to light). As a result, the dark pixels of the image background move to the top, and the light pixels of the cat move to the bottom, with the gray ears creating a silhouette of the original cat.

Rainbow Spectrum Sorting

In this example, we load a bright photo of parrot feathers and sort its pixels by the rainbow spectrum. Before sorting, we transform the pixels into medium-sized blocks with the dimensions of 10 by 10 pixels. We then sort them continuously from top to bottom in increasing order of the rainbow colors.

Chaotic Sorting of Large Pixels

In this example, we apply a random pixel sorting method to an image of delicious chocolate ice cream. We create large blocks of 80×80 pixels, find their average color, and rearrange them randomly. To make the output unique, we also decorate the blocks with a 2-pixel thick chocolate-colored border, add 5-pixel spacing between the blocks, and 5-pixel padding around the image. The background color of the canvas is set to white. (Source: Pexels.)
