Pixel Art Tips and Best Practices
🎯 Choose the Right Source
High-contrast images with clear subjects work best for pixel art conversion. Avoid overly complex or cluttered photos.
📏 Consider Final Use
Larger pixel sizes create more abstract art, while smaller pixels preserve more detail - choose based on your project needs.
🎨 Color Considerations
Bold, saturated colors often translate better to pixel art than subtle gradients or muted tones.
⚡ Experiment Freely
Try different pixel sizes and see how they affect the mood and style of your final artwork.
