What is pixel art?
Pixel art recreates a photo with fewer colors and deliberate, visible pixels. Unlike mosaic, it organizes color into a game-like dot-art appearance instead of only lowering resolution.
Parameters
- Pixel art strength
- Higher values increase pixel size while reducing the number of colors. Shading becomes clearer blocks of color and edges are gently emphasized. Ordered dithering helps the colors transition without turning the result into only large squares.
