Frequently Asked Questions
What is pixelation?
Pixelation is an effect that reduces image detail by grouping pixels into larger blocks, creating a retro, blocky appearance.
What does pixel width mean?
Pixel width controls how many pixel blocks wide your image will be. Lower values (32-64) create chunkier, more blocky looks.
What is dithering?
Dithering creates the illusion of more colors by arranging pixels in patterns. Floyd-Steinberg is smooth, Ordered creates uniform patterns.
