How do I use this tool?

  1. 1.Choose your source

    Upload the original image and create one unchanged baseline preview.

  2. 2.Adjust and compare

    Adjust size before colors, reapplying each change so you can compare it with the baseline.

  3. 3.Download your result

    Download the chosen result and keep a note of its settings for another version later.

Before I download

Do settings update an already downloaded file?

No. Apply the new settings and download a new result. Rename files clearly if you want to keep several alternatives for later comparison.

Can I save an editable project?

The export is a finished PNG rather than a project file. Keep the original image and note your settings if you expect to revisit the treatment.

Keep comparison useful

When several controls change together, a good or bad result is difficult to explain. Start with a baseline, alter one setting, and inspect the same part of the image each time. A face, a diagonal edge, and a smooth shaded area reveal different consequences of the conversion.

Record settings when consistency matters

For a collection of portraits or product graphics, similar source framing helps more than identical numbers alone. A close-up and a wide shot will not have the same block density around their subjects. Prepare comparable crops first, then record size, colors, and style alongside the saved files.

Understand the downloaded image

The download is a flat PNG. Photos are processed at up to 2200 pixels on the longest edge, then rounded down to complete blocks. Pixel size controls each block, not a target canvas such as 32×32. Keep your original for later edits.
