very cool

amazing app with plenty of options for customizing dither pattern and palettes. my only question is did i miss an option to export as png or heic?

A Favorite App

This app is perfect for creating fun images and gives the user many tools to work with. If I could suggest a new feature: I wish there was a build in "pixel-perfect" upscaler and a way to save as PNG directly to the camera roll. My current workflow involves saving as PNG to Files, using an external 4x scaler, then saving to camera roll. Hope to see this app's continued support in the far future!

It’s free

It’s so fast and easy to use and my favorite part is that it’s free

In-app camera mode

This app has a lot of features already, but I would also like to have an in-app camera mode for photos and videos so that I can use the app to make videos that already are dithered without having to do post processing.

Almost works perfect, but there’s one hard limit

It does almost everything I need, but I can’t import palettes with it for some reason. Whenever I try to grab a .ase file (took a while to even figure out that was the format it wanted since it doesn’t specify) from my Files, it tells me I can’t open the palette file because I don’t have permission to do so. I’ve looked at every option in my iPad settings and searched the internet for a solution but I can’t find one that works. Please fix this so I don’t have to manually insert large palettes myself, right now all I can do is use the preset palettes unless I want to input every single color of a new palette by hand.
