## What is Retro Pixel Camera?

PIXELADO
Dither the world, live in the viewfinder.

Pixelado is a camera that renders every frame through a real-time dither shader. Pick an effect, pick a palette, and the viewfinder is already the photo. Nothing to apply afterwards.

FOURTEEN LIVE EFFECTS
Floyd-Steinberg and Atkinson error diffusion, Bayer 4x4 and 2x2 ordered dither, blue-noise stipple, per-channel RGB dither, ordered halftone, posterize, CRT scanlines, and a Sobel ink edge pass. Plus four retro hardware palettes that clamp every frame to a classic 4-color or 8-bit color set.

THIRTY-EIGHT COLOR PALETTES
Hand-graded palettes, from clean monochrome and graphite to neon, sunset, and deep contrast. Every one of them is free.

DIAL IT IN
Pixel scale, contrast, shadows, highlights, and sharpness, all live on the preview. Five effects take a tint color, so you can push a dither into any two-tone you want. Your settings are stored per effect, so switching back never loses your numbers.

A CAMERA THAT STAYS OUT OF THE WAY
Volume button shutter, rule-of-thirds grid, tap to focus, flash, zoom, front camera, and your last shot one tap from the editor.

BRING YOUR OWN PHOTOS
Import anything from your library and run it through the same shader, with the same sliders.

BUILT FOR IPAD
Split View and Slide Over are supported, and the camera preview keeps the right aspect ratio at every window size.

COMPLETELY FREE
Every effect, every palette, every slider. No subscription, no unlocks, no ads.

STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE
Every frame is processed on your device with Metal. Nothing is uploaded.

Shoot in pixels.
