For best pixel art results, use high-resolution source images. Our pixel art maker works better with clear, well-lit photos. Images with good contrast produce more defined pixel art.
Lower pixel widths (32-64px) create chunkier, more retro pixel art. Higher resolutions (128-256px) preserve more detail. Try different settings to find the perfect balance for your project.
Floyd-Steinberg dithering works well for photos and creates natural gradients. Atkinson dithering is lighter and more artistic. Ordered dithering gives a classic retro look. Each algorithm creates different pixel art styles.
Enable custom palettes to match specific retro console aesthetics. PICO-8 palette works great for vibrant pixel art. Game Boy palette creates authentic monochrome styles. Experiment with our preset palettes.
Use HD export (4x) when you need to display your pixel art at larger sizes. The HD option upscales your pixel art while maintaining sharp pixels, perfect for prints and high-resolution displays.
Lower dithering strength creates cleaner pixel art with less texture. Higher strength adds more detail but can look noisy. Fine-tune this setting based on your source image complexity.
Remember: Creating great pixel art is an iterative process. Don't be afraid to experiment with different settings in our pixel art maker. The real-time preview lets you quickly test various combinations to achieve the perfect result. Whether you're converting a single image to pixel art or working on a large project, take time to explore all the features of our pixel art generator.
