A much more popular variation is the term spriting, which sometimes refers to the activity of making pixel art elements for video games specifically. The phrases ' dot art' and ' pixel pushing' are sometimes used as synonyms of pixel art, particularly by Japanese artists. Standard digital artworks or low resolution photographs are also composed of pixels, but they would only be considered pixel art if the individual pixels were placed with artistic intent, even if the pixels are clearly visible or prominent ( see Definition). The precise definition of pixel art is a subject of debate, but an artwork is usually considered as such if deliberate thought was put into each individual pixel of the image. Because of these self-imposed limitations, pixel art presents strong similarities with many traditional restrictive art forms such as mosaics and cross stitch. Older forms of pixel art tend to employ smaller palettes, with some video games being made using just two colors (1-bit color depth).

Most works of pixel art are also restrictive in file size and the number of colors used in their color palette because of the software limitations, in order to achieve a certain aesthetic, or simply to reduce the perceived noise. The art form is still practiced to this day by pixel artists and game studios, even though the technological limitations have since been surpassed. It was widely associated with the low-resolution graphics from 8-bit and 16-bit era computers and arcade video game consoles, in addition to other limited systems such as LED displays and graphing calculators, which have a maximum number of pixels and colors available. Pixel art is particularly relevant in the world of video games, as 24% of the best selling games of all time employ this art style. Pixel art ( / Л€ p ЙЄ k s Й™ l- Й‘Лђ r t/) is a form of digital art drawn with graphical software, in which images are built with the exclusive and intentional placement of pixels.
