## What is PixelArt?

PixelArt - RetroGraphic Simulator is a app that brings nostalgia to photos and graphics by converting them to an older system's graphic mode.  The converter uses faithful algorithms that simulate the quirks and limitations of the old system (and we love them!)  The app supports some custom scanning and optimization technologies to attempt to bring the best possible image given the limits of each machine.  Some results benefit from some custom tuning provided in the app.

All systems simulated here are given the best of care and respect as they are cherished machines of the past (and childhood.)  The graphical innovations of these machines is demonstrated here.
