How It Works

  1. 1. Image drawn onto a tiny canvas - one pixel per block.
  2. 2. Scaled back up with pixel-smoothing disabled → hard blocks.
  3. 3. Retro palette quantizes colour channels to limited steps.
  4. 4. Exported as PNG or WebP at original dimensions.

Palette Guide

  • Full Color - no reduction, max quality
  • Rich (4096) - 4 bits/ch, subtle vintage feel
  • Retro (512) - 3 bits/ch, early computer look
  • Limited (64) - 2 bits/ch, bold flat blocks
  • Minimal (8) - 1 bit/ch, 8 pure colours only
  • Grayscale - luminance-weighted greyscale
