Pixography: Pixel Art Camera

Pixography turns your phone's camera into a pixel art camera. Point it at anything and the viewfinder shows it as real pixel art, live, with retro palettes, classic dithering and 41 effects you can stack. Press the shutter and you keep exactly that frame, pixel for pixel.

REAL PIXELS, NOT A FILTER
Every shot is a genuine low-resolution image, from 48×64 up to 384×512 pixels, where every pixel is one color from the lens's palette. Nothing is blurred or smeared, so your shots stay crisp at any size.

29 LENSES
Detail lenses pick their colors from your scene: Clean (128 colors) keeps almost everything, Auto 64, Auto 32 and Auto 16 give you clean hand-made pixel art, Sprite 8 makes bold game sprites and Wash 12 paints soft, faded scenes. Graphite is crisp black and white.
Then the retro palettes: the four greens of an early handheld (Pea Soup), pure 1-bit Ink, Thermal, Vapor, Sunset, Riso Duo, Amber CRT, Phosphor, Cyanotype, Newsprint, Hi-Color, Natural 64, Silver, Darkroom and more.

41 EFFECTS YOU CAN STACK
• Looks: Neon edges, Bloom, Sketch, Tilt-Shift, Light Leak, Emboss, Scanlines, RGB Split and palette Cycle
• Patterns: ASCII art, cross-Stitch charts where every color gets its own symbol, Code Rain, LED, Bricks, Mosaic, Hatch and Engrave
• Warp: Shards, Slats, Blinds, Shuffle, Spin, Puzzle, Kaleido, Mirror, Twirl, Bulge, Tiny Planet, Glitch, Pixel Sort and Pop Art
• Subject: Spotlight, Pop Out, Aura and Protect find people, pets and things right on your phone, so the background can go 1-bit or ASCII while your subject stays crisp

Every card in the picker is a live preview of your own scene, so you see what a tap will do before you tap. One tap on Reset takes you back to the plain lens.

DITHERING YOUR WAY
Bayer, halftone, line screen, film grain, and Floyd–Steinberg or Atkinson diffusion, with Detail, Contrast, Brightness and Color controls.

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU KEEP
The shot is the frame on screen, even with animated effects, saved upright however you hold the phone.

PIXELATE IT AGAIN LATER
Every shot keeps its original photo, so you can open it again and try another lens, grid size or effect. Pick any picture from your gallery and develop it the same way.

MADE FOR SHOOTING
Swipe the viewfinder to change lenses, pinch to zoom, tap to focus, set a 3 or 10 second self-timer, or roll the dice for a surprise combination.

CRISP SHARING
Share or save a shot at its native size, or upscaled ×8 or ×16 with hard pixel edges, ready for a wallpaper, a sprite sheet, a profile picture or a print.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no ads and no tracking. Everything, subject detection included, happens on your phone, and your photos never leave it unless you share them.
