This. That's why most people who are experimenting with pixel art using generative models turn to something like spritefusion-pixel-snapper or other similar tools that handle grid alignment and palette reduction.

In A practical guide to AI image generation, from diffusion to agentsLook up Sprite Fusion as well - it's a very good tool for grid-snapping / palette reduction / etc. and was specifically developed with cleaning up AI assets.

Maybe you can use that^ to snap the pixels to a perfect grid
In Show HN: isometric.nyc – giant isometric pixel art map of NYCNice job! I also did some pixel art experiments several weeks ago with grid-based constraints via Img2Img with Gemini 3.0 Pro that might be of some interest:

FYI there are several nice tools for quantizing to a grid as well as reducing to a smaller discrete color palette that I recommend using as well (unfake [1] and pixel-snapper [2]).
