About this app
A camera that sees in 8 bits.
Pixelffector renders your camera's live viewfinder through the colour palette of a classic console or home computer. The four greens of an old handheld. The sixteen colours of a classic 8-bit micro. The four harsh tones of early PC graphics. You compose the shot in the palette, live — not with a filter you slap on afterwards.
WHY PIXEL ART FANS LOVE IT
• Live retro camera — every frame is turned into pixel art in real time
• 31 retro palettes — handhelds, 8-bit and 16-bit consoles, arcade cabinets, home computers and teletext, each one a real colour table
• Real dithering — ordered Bayer and Floyd–Steinberg error diffusion, the techniques retro hardware and pixel artists use
• Tune after the shot — pixel size, palette strength, brightness, contrast and dither mode
• Handheld-style border for that classic portable-console screen look
• Full-resolution export at native, 2× or 4× — pixel blocks stay sharp, never blurred
• Share your retro photos anywhere straight from the app
MAKE YOUR OWN PALETTES (in-app purchase)
Build a custom retro palette colour by colour, name it, and share it with friends as a link they can import with one tap.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No cloud. No ads. No tracking. Your photos go straight to your gallery, in a Pixelffector album, and nowhere else.
BACK FOR A SECOND RUN
Pixelffector first launched in 2014 as an iPhone-only retro camera. Now it's rebuilt from scratch around a proper palette quantiser — and for the first time, it's on Android.
Perfect for pixel art, lo-fi and vaporwave aesthetics, 8-bit and 16-bit nostalgia, retro gaming fans, chiptune album covers, profile pictures and phone wallpapers.
Pixelffector is free. The 31 built-in palettes are free forever.
