Tips for Best Results
High Contrast Images
Images with clear separation between subject and background convert best. Busy backgrounds can become "noise" in pixel art.
Simple Subjects
Logos, cartoons, and close-up portraits work better than landscapes or large group photos.
Lighting Matters
Avoid photos with harsh shadows or extreme gradients, as these can create strange artifacts when reduced to a limited color palette.
