Frequently asked questions
How does the pixelation work?
The image is shrunk to a tiny grid and scaled back up with smoothing turned off, so each block becomes one flat color — the classic pixel-art effect.
Is the downloaded image full resolution?
Yes. The preview is downscaled for speed, but the download re-renders the effect at your photo's original resolution.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The effect is drawn on a canvas in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere.
