Tips for better results

  1. Tip 01

    Choose a larger pixel size for a clear retro look, because small pixels just look like a soft photo.

  2. Tip 02

    Reduce colour levels for a stylised result, then follow with Posterize or Dither + palette.

  3. Tip 03

    Pixelate first, then add CRT / VHS for a retro monitor look.
