See Full FAQOur Image Pixelator supports most common image formats including: • JPEG/JPG • PNG • GIF (static) • BMP • WebP For best results, we recommend using PNG or high-quality JPEG files.
The tool can handle images up to 10MB in size. For optimal performance: • Keep file sizes under 5MB for best results • Consider resizing very large images before uploading • Higher resolution images will take longer to process
The right pixel size depends on your desired effect: • Smaller pixels (2-5px): Subtle pixelation, more detail • Medium pixels (6-15px): Classic retro look • Larger pixels (16px+): Bold, abstract effect Experiment with different sizes to find the perfect look for your image.
Different pixel shapes create unique visual effects: • Squares: Classic pixel art look • Circles: Softer, dot-matrix style • Hexagons: Honeycomb pattern effect Try each shape to see which works best with your image.
Currently, the tool applies pixelation to the entire image. For partial pixelation: • Consider editing your image first to separate the areas you want to pixelate • Process the parts separately • Combine the results in an image editor
Color palettes change how colors are represented in your pixelated image: • Original: Keeps all colors from your image • Grayscale: Converts to black and white shades • 8-bit: Limits to 256 colors for a retro look • 4-bit: Further reduces to 16 colors for a more dramatic effect
