Overview of Pixelmash

It brings a new approach to pixel art by letting you paint or import high-resolution images, then non-destructively pixelize and apply other layer effects to turn them into unique pixel art. Although technology is rapidly Evolving, and graphics are closer to reality now! More than ever, pixel art is still alive and well. It can be used as a guideline for all types of environments. In this regard, you can rely on Pixelmash.

As the name might have you thinking, the specialty of the application is to apply the pixelate effect. Since this is the core feature, expect to have a bit of control over the situation. You can either start from scratch to create pixel art or transform an existing picture that needs to be under formats like PAD, JPG, PNG, TIF, and TIFF.

The interface is quite appealing and intuitive overall. Most of the space is the canvas, which updates in real-time, even when applying changes. It’s possible to toggle the visibility of the original picture to get a glimpse of how far you went with tweaking. A side panel lets you handle colors and effects, while the upper toolbar holds most of your tools.
