Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A browser-based suite that converts images into pixel art, suggests palettes, generates skin-tone ramps, and provides a dedicated pixel editor.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

The homepage describes a three-stage workflow: upload an image, tune its resolution and palette, then export the result. It accepts photos, artwork, and AI-generated images, and shows a 64×64 sprite using a 16-color palette at 800% zoom. Separate palette tools address colorization and skin-tone ramps, while the editor exposes layers, pixel-specific brushes, and color management. The page states that no signup or paywall is required for the free tools.
