Retroize vs xelka

Retroize is an iPhone and iPad video converter that turns your videos into an 8-bit-inspired or retro-styled look and lets you share or save the result as a video file. Choose videos from Photos or Files, then adjust palettes, dithering, working resolution, output FPS, and audio settings in one focused workflow. ■ Retro palettes for different looks Choose from retro PC monochrome and color palettes, handheld-style green, phosphor green, 8-bit-inspired console colors, sepia tone, pink violet, traditional Japanese colors, mineral pigments, indigo dye, fresco earth, and original color. ■ Dithering for texture Select fine grid (Bayer 4x4), wide grid (Bayer 8x8), or soft grain (blue noise). Reduce banding from color reduction and add a classic retro texture. ■ Control resolution and FPS Tune the working scale, output size, and output FPS. Create a classic low-resolution, low-frame-rate feel, or keep a modern resolution while applying palette conversion. ■ One-frame preview Preview a representative frame before export. Check the look as you adjust settings, so it is easier to find the right style. ■ Retro-style audio Keep the original audio, or lower the sample rate for a retro-style sound. ■ iPhone and iPad export Export MP4 video files, then use the system share sheet to save, send, or open the exported video in another app. Note: HDR and wide-color videos are processed as standard-color MP4 files. HDR brightness and wide-color information are not preserved. [Free version and full export] The free version exports the first 10 seconds of each video. Unlock Full Export with an in-app purchase to export the entire video. Export length may also depend on device performance and available storage.
