Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built Pixel Art Workshop because I was frustrated with existing
pixel art converters — they either required uploads to some server,
or produced blurry, low-quality results with zero control.
So I built the tool I wanted:
→ 100% client-side — your images stay on YOUR device
→ Real color quantization with CIELAB color science (not just RGB)
→ 50,000+ palettes from Lospec, one click to import
→ Floyd-Steinberg dithering for that authentic retro look
→ No account, no paywall, no limits
The entire processing pipeline runs in your browser using the
Canvas API. I implemented K-Means++ palette extraction in a Web
Worker so it doesn't block the UI, and added both RGB and LAB
color distance modes because perceptual accuracy matters.
I'd love your feedback — especially on:
- Any features you'd want for game dev / sprite workflows?
- Would a batch mode (convert multiple images at once) be useful?
Try it out and let me know what you think!
