Frequently asked questions

Is it real pixel art or just a filter?

AI first redraws your photo as a simple sprite, then every pixel is snapped to a square grid with a limited palette — clean blocks, no blur.

Can I use it as an icon or profile picture?

Yes — the result is a square PNG; download the watermark-free HD version after signing in.

What photos work best?

Clear front-facing or half-body portraits give the best results. Avoid heavy occlusion and strong backlight.

Do I need to choose a model?

No — every style is already paired with the model that renders it best, so you just pick a style and generate. The credit cost shown reflects that style's model.
