## What is Pixel Lab?

Turn a photo into pixel art you can actually use.

Pixel Lab converts your photo cell by cell with a deterministic algorithm — not AI redrawing.
People and pets stay themselves. Still you, just pixels.

■ Conversion, not redrawing
Every pixel is derived from your photo. The same photo with the same settings always gives the
same result — no randomness, no rerolling and hoping.

■ The viewport is the preview
What you frame is what you get: drag, zoom, change the grid, change the palette, and the image
snaps to pixels the moment you let go.

■ Palettes come first
Extract a palette from the photo automatically, or pick a built-in retro set: the four greens
of Handheld 1989, the sixteen colors of Terminal 1981, Fantasy 16, Amber Print, Glacier,
Graphite, Ink & Paper. Every artwork states exactly which colors it used.

■ Crisp export
Nearest-neighbor integer scaling — one pixel stays one clean square, never smudged by a
resampler. One-tap 512 and 1024 avatars, or save straight to your photo library.

■ Entirely on device
No account, no network, no data collection. Your photos never leave your device.

An honest limit: at small grids (16–48) a portrait is stylized charm, not a likeness. For
closer resemblance choose grids of 96 and up — a limit we measured, stated here and inside
the app.

——
