Pixel Art Scaler

Deterministic algorithms for upscaling pixel art that preserve aesthetics by adding valid sub-pixels through edge detection and pattern matching.

When to Use

Use for:

  • Upscaling retro game sprites, icons, and pixel art
  • 2x, 3x, 4x scaling with edge-aware interpolation
  • Preserving sharp pixel art aesthetic at higher resolutions
  • Converting 8x8, 16x16, 32x32, 48x48 pixel art for retina displays
  • Comparing deterministic vs AI/ML approaches

NOT for:

  • Photographs or realistic images (use AI super-resolution)
  • Simple geometric scaling (use nearest-neighbor)
  • Vector art (use SVG)
  • Text rendering (use font hinting)
  • Arbitrary non-integer scaling (algorithms work best at 2x, 3x, 4x)
