Field notes
The converter frames each preset through four visible attributes—hardware, palette, colors, and dithering—rather than applying an unexplained generic filter. The page accepts JPG, PNG, and WebP inputs and lists PNG, HD PNG, JPG, HD JPG, and WebP outputs. Adjacent sections extend the same retro-image premise into ASCII, drawing, dithering, palettes, and 3D experiments; the site also links to GitHub and describes itself as open source.
