Frequently Asked Questions

What pixel size should I use?
For classic 8-bit style use 8-16px. For 16-bit retro use 4-8px. Larger values give a more blocky look.
Can I use this for game sprites?
Yes! The output PNG is game-ready and can be imported directly into Unity, Godot, or any other game engine.
Does it reduce colors automatically?
Yes — you can choose how many colors to use in the palette from 8 (maximum retro) to 256 (near-original).
