Frequently Asked Questions

How does the pixel art converter work?+
It downscales your image to a low resolution (pixel size), then upscales it back using nearest-neighbor interpolation. This creates the blocky pixel art effect. You can limit the color palette for a more retro look.
What pixel size should I use?+
For a subtle pixelated effect, use 4-8. For classic retro game style, use 10-20. For very blocky abstract art, use 20-40. Experiment to find what works best for your image.
Can I limit the color palette?+
Yes. Reduce the color count to get a more authentic retro look. 16 colors gives a classic NES/SNES feel. 8 colors creates a Game Boy style. 4 colors creates very stylized results.
