FAQ

What is RetroIt for?

RetroIt converts modern images into retro-inspired outputs like Game Boy, Famicom, pixel art, CRT, VHS, and JPEG-decay looks without leaving the browser.

How do I use it?

Upload one image, choose a preset, adjust intensity, pixel size, and noise, then download the processed PNG when the result looks right.

Does RetroIt upload my image?

No. The conversion runs locally in your browser, so your source image stays on your device during editing and export.

What You Can Do with RetroIt

Retro Preset Stack

Switch between handheld, console, CRT, VHS, and broken-JPEG looks from one workspace instead of opening separate novelty tools.

Adjustable Pixelation

Tune pixel size, processing intensity, and noise so the result lands between subtle nostalgia and aggressively stylized output.

Before / After Review

Flip between the original and processed image while you iterate, which makes it easier to judge how far to push the effect.

Fast Browser Export

Generate and download the final PNG locally without waiting for a remote render pipeline.

How It Works

RetroIt uses canvas-based image processing in the browser. Presets combine pixelation, palette reduction, scanlines, color shifts, noise, and repeated JPEG recompression to create familiar retro looks.
