Frequently Asked Questions

What does this tool do?

This tool upscales pixel art while maintaining crisp, sharp edges. It uses nearest-neighbor scaling to prevent blurriness and preserve the original pixel art style.

What are the size limitations?

The tool can handle images up to 10,000 pixels in width or height. For optimal performance, try to keep the final upscaled size under 50 million pixels total.

Which file formats are supported?

You can upload most image formats (PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP). For downloading, you can choose between PNG (best quality), JPEG, WebP, and SVG formats.

Why choose SVG format?

SVG format creates vector-based output that stays sharp at any size and has smaller file sizes for simple pixel art. However, it may not be suitable for complex images with many different colors.

Why is my image loading slowly?

Performance depends on your device and the image size. When upscaling large images (especially at 10x or 20x), the preview might take a moment to generate. The memory usage indicator will warn you about potential performance issues.

What's the best scale factor to use?

It depends on your needs. 2x or 4x are good for moderate size increases, while 6x-20x are better for very small pixel art that needs significant enlargement. Watch the memory usage indicator to avoid performance issues.
