Perfect Pixel
Refine and quantize messy AI pixel art into clean, perfect pixels
perfectPixel is a workflow tool for turning messy “pixel-style” images, especially those produced by generative models, into truly grid-aligned pixel art that reads cleanly at any scale. It tackles a common problem with AI pixel art: edges that look pixelated at first glance but are not actually aligned to a coherent pixel grid, which causes shimmer, blur, and uneven block sizes when you zoom in. The tool analyzes an image to infer the intended grid size, then refines and quantizes the artwork so pixels snap into consistent cells and the final result looks crisp and intentional. This makes it useful for game developers, sprite artists, and hobbyists who want to use AI-assisted ideation without shipping “almost pixel art” assets. It is designed to be easy to slot into an existing pipeline, whether you are batch-processing images or cleaning up a few key assets for a project. -

Pixel Art Image Viewer
Look at your pixel art images without blur and zoom limitations.
The problem of other image viewing programs is, that a blur filter gets applied to the image. This works fine for high-res photos, but not for low-res pixel art. Also, zooming doesn't really work either in most programs. That's why I made this software as an alternative to the default image viewer app. Also using the app is very simple, just open the context menu of a image and press "Open with Pixel Art Image Viewer". -
