# 🎉 Pixelwise 1.0 is Live!
I'm excited to release **Pixelwise** — a native macOS app that transforms images and videos into authentic pixel art.
## Why I Built This
I wanted a tool that could quickly convert reference images and videos into pixel art for game development — with proper dithering, retro palettes, and none of the artifacts you get from simple resizing.
## Key Features
**🎨 Classic Palettes**
Game Boy, NES, PICO-8, C64, and more. Or extract colors directly from your image.
**📹 Video to GIF**
Convert video clips to pixel art animations with temporal coherence (no flickering between frames).
**🔧 AI Art Fixer**
Clean up AI-generated pixel art by detecting the grid and snapping colors to a proper palette.
**⚡ Real-time Preview**
See changes instantly as you adjust pixel size, palette, and dithering.
## What's Included
- Floyd-Steinberg, Bayer, and Blue Noise dithering
- Adjustable pixel size (2-32px)
- Outline and smoothing effects
- Batch processing
- Copy to clipboard (⌘C)
- Export as PNG, GIF, or APNG
## System Requirements
- macOS 13.0 or later
- Works on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs
## Get It Now
Pixelwise is available for **$6.99** (or pay what you want).
