Settings

MoodApplies a brightness, contrast, saturation, and hue combination on top of the current preset. Stacks with Style. Click again to remove.

StylePresets that configure pixel size, shape, palette, and effects all at once. Retro = game console palettes, Aesthetic = color moods, Effects = shape and texture effects.

PixelSize of each pixel block and its shape. Auto computes size from image dimensions using a divisor. Higher divisor = smaller pixels.

OutputFormat determines the file type. Background fills transparent areas and gaps between shapes.

Color

BrightnessScales overall brightness. 1 = no change, 2 = twice as bright, 0.5 = half as bright.

ContrastScales the difference between lights and darks. 1 = no change, >1 = more contrast, <1 = flatter.

SaturationScales color intensity. 0 = greyscale, 1 = no change, 2 = double saturation.

VibrancyBiases palette color matching toward more saturated colors. Requires a palette to be selected.

RemapPre-shifts each pixel's color toward the nearest palette color before pixelating. Higher values = stronger snap. Requires a palette.

Hue (°)Rotates all colors around the hue wheel in degrees. 180 = complementary colors, 0 = no change.

Max colorsReduces the output to at most N distinct colors via quantization. Leave blank for no limit.

GreyscaleRemoves all color, converting the image to shades of grey.

InvertFlips every color to its opposite, like a photo negative.

Effects

Blur (σ)Gaussian blur applied before pixelation. Softens detail so pixels blend more smoothly. Higher sigma = blurrier.

NoiseRandomly shifts each pixel's color, creating a gritty or organic texture. 0 = none.

SeedMakes noise reproducible. The same seed produces the same pattern every time. Leave blank for random.

DitherFloyd-Steinberg dithering spreads color quantization error to neighboring pixels for smoother gradients. Requires a palette.

Modifiers

JitterRandomly offsets each pixel's position, creating an organic scattered look.

Size VarianceRandomly varies the size of each pixel shape. 0 = uniform, 1 = max variation.

PulseScales pixel size based on a radial gradient from the center, creating a pulsing effect.

WaveApplies a sine wave distortion to pixel positions.

Brightness SizeScales each pixel's size based on its brightness — brighter pixels appear larger.

Rendering

Scale (×)Multiplies the output image dimensions. 2 = double size, 0.5 = half size. Does not change pixel count.

Gap (px)Empty space between each pixel block, creating a grid-like separation effect.

Scanlines (px)Draws dark horizontal lines every N pixels to simulate a CRT monitor screen.
