chunkybits is a retro camera that paints the world in pixels. Point it at anything: your dog, your coffee, a sunset, and watch reality transform into pixel art in real time. No filters applied after the fact. No "retro" preset that just lowers the saturation. chunkybits remaps every pixel through hand-crafted color palettes, the same way a retro console would have seen it. The result is unmistakably chunky, beautifully limited, and nostalgic. FEATURES • Real-time pixel-art camera with classic retro palettes • Supports taking pictures and recording videos • Swipe to switch palettes instantly • Import and create your own custom palettes • Three quality levels • Aspect ratios for every vibe: full, 16:9, 3:4, 1:1 • Pinch to zoom, tap to flip • Save straight to your own chunkybits album PRIVACY FIRST Every pixel is processed on your device. No cloud, no account, no tracking, no ads. Your photos belong to you and never leave your phone unless you share them.
