Do you mean like this?

You can download a standalone application on that page.

Kodak used to have a free utility on their website, not sure if it's
still there or not though...

Kinda depends on what you mean by "pixel art"...the simplest way would
be to simply reduce the number of colors...but there are a near
infinite number of other techniques you could use depending on what
particular style you were going for.

Hatter Quotes
-------------
"I'm not a professional, I'm an artist."
"The more I learn the more I'm killing my idols."
"Is it wrong to incur and then use the hate ridden, vengeful stupidity
of complete strangers in random Usenet froups to further my art?"
"Freedom is only a concept, like race it's merely a social construct
that doesn't really exist outside of your ability to convince others
of its relevancy."
"Next time slow up a lil, then maybe you won't jump the gun and start
creamin yer panties before it's time to pop the champagne proper."
"Reality is directly proportionate to how creative you are."
"People are pretty ****ing high on themselves if they think that
they're just born with a soul. *snicker*...yeah, like they're just
givin em out for free."
"Quible, quible said the Hare. Quite a lot of quibling...everywhere.
So the Hare took a long stare and decided at best, to leave the rest,
to their merry little mess."
"There's a difference between 'bad' and 'so earth shatteringly
horrible it makes the angels scream in terror as they violently rip
their heads off, their blood spraying into the faces of a thousand
sweet innocent horrified children, who will forever have the terrible
images burned into their tiny little minds'."
"How sad that you're such a poor judge of style that you can't even
properly gauge the artistic worth of your own efforts."
"Those who record history are those who control history."
"Is my .sig delimiter broken? Really? You're sure? Awww,
gee...that's too bad...for YOU!" `, )

You could maybe use any photo editor to simply reduce the number of
total pixels in the image until pixelation occurs. Photo Filtre will do
this:

No it won't. Just searched for any form of pixelization, but there is
none. No filters to do that.
GIMP has Pixelate filter, so he could just do that, but...
I think you all missed the point, and I think you all never had Amiga
or C=64
)Pixelart is drawed by hand, pixel by pixel. No filters are allowed,
just hand-drawn.

watching contestant's pictures, pixelart and demos, while listening to
modules.)

Used them both in college. Believe it or not, that was all the lab had
back around 1981.
Yes, but the OP wants freeware that will "convert a photo or picture
into pixel art".
According to this site:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixelization
Pixelization is:
"...a video- and image-editing technique where an image, or part of it,
is blurred by displaying part or all of it at a lower resolution. A
familiar example of pixelization can be found in television news and
documentary production, where vehicle license plates and faces of
suspects at crime scenes are routinely obscured to maintain the
presumption of innocence, and footage showing nude genitalia, buttocks,
or breasts is likewise obscured to preserve common decency. Likewise,
when obscene language is bleeped out, the mouth of the speaker may be
pixelized to prevent lip reading (this is not common, however)."
Perhaps it would help if the OP stated what size (pixel width by pixel
height) he or she would like the final output to be.

Try 'Microangelo' software. You can hand draw pixels or import a bitmap
into this software, then save it as icon/cursor/gif file.

Look up "rotoscoping". It's actually an animation technique, but there
might be a static, non-animated solution.
Or you can download the trial for Illustrator CS2 and try their
LiveTrace feature.

Which isn't freeware, so you're pretty off-topic. Did you try the real
freeware others suggested?
