Tips for Best Results
- High-contrast images often pixelate more clearly
- Try different pixel sizes to balance detail and blockiness
- Vary color depth to match the style you want
- Simple subjects with clear shapes work best
- For retro game style, try lower color depths (8–16 colors)
- For finer pixel art, use smaller pixel size values
- Some fine detail will be lost- that is normal for pixelation
