Frequently Asked Questions
What is pixel art and how does PixelAny work?
Pixel art is a digital art form that uses limited pixels and colors to create images with a distinctive retro aesthetic. PixelAny employs advanced image processing algorithms to transform ordinary photos into pixel art by reducing image resolution, quantizing color depth, and applying intelligent downsampling techniques.
What image formats are supported?
PixelAny supports JPG/JPEG, PNG, WEBP, BMP, and GIF formats. For best results, we recommend using high-resolution images. The maximum file size is 10MB.
How do I get the best results?
For portraits, use 8-12 pixel size; for landscapes, 4-8 pixels. Adjust color depth based on desired style: 2-4 bits for retro look, 6-8 bits for modern pixel art. Fine-tune brightness and contrast within ±20 range for optimal results.
Can I use the converted pixel art commercially?
If you own the copyright to the original photo, you can use the converted pixel art freely. However, please respect copyright laws and obtain necessary permissions for portraits or trademarked content.
Why doesn't my photo convert well? How can I improve pixel art quality?
Common Issues & Solutions:
• Blurry Results: Ensure original image clarity, avoid heavily compressed photos
• Color Distortion: Adjust color depth parameters to increase available colors
• Lost Details: Reduce pixel size to preserve more image information
• Poor Contrast: Fine-tune brightness and contrast settings
Best Practices: Choose images with clear subjects and simple backgrounds. For portraits, use front-facing clear photos. For landscapes, select images with distinct foreground and background layers.
