PIXEL86: Retro Media Editor
Retro-style photo & video editing — pixel-perfect and palette-powered.
Bring your photos and videos back to the golden age of early digital aesthetics.
PIXEL86 transforms your media into stunning black-and-white or limited-color masterpieces using classic dithering — the same technique used by old displays, printers, and GIFs.
✨ Why PIXEL86?
🎞️ Photo & Video Support Apply vintage-style dithering not just to photos, but to video clips too. Each frame becomes pixel art in motion.
🖤 True Black & White Dithering No grayscale here. Just pure black and white pixels, perfectly arranged to simulate tone and shading — just like in early tech.
🎨 Creative Color Palettes
- Choose from handpicked retro palettes
- Hit the randomizer for endless inspiration
- Or build your own palette from scratch
🎛️ Dithering Modes
- Natural – Classic error diffusion for smooth, expressive results (default).
- Pattern – Inspired by dot-matrix printers. Tune the matrix size for gritty textures.
- Flat – High-contrast, bold results perfect for stylized photos and videos. Technically not dithering, but a vibe all its own.
