Simple Yet Powerful


The app is designed with two main goals in mind: simplicity and power. Old-school graphic conversions can be challenging, especially with low contrast or greyish images. 8Bit Photo Lab provides essential parameters to optimize the final look of your images, ensuring that every pixel counts.



Getting Started


Begin by selecting one of the predefined looks (star icon) and then mix and match colors, dithering, resolutions, and more until you achieve your desired effect. Changes to parameters will update the results instantly, allowing for quick experimentation.



Main Parameters



  1. Resolution: Adjust the image size to fit your needs.

  2. Palettes: Choose from a variety of color options.

  3. Dithering: Simulate a broader color range with various dithering options.



Advanced Color Adjustments


Four parameters allow you to adjust color values for each pixel:



  • Brightness: Control the overall lightness or darkness.

  • Saturation: Enhance or reduce color intensity.

  • Contrast: Adjust the difference between light and dark areas.

  • Local Contrast: Effective for bringing out details while reducing resolution.



Crop and Enhance


Use the cropping feature to select the best part of your image. Even a small section can be transformed into a stunning 8-bit picture!

Embrace the Glitch


Old computers were notorious for crashing in bizarre ways. With the glitch menu (blender icon), you can add chaos to your photos with effects like screen melt, pixel scattering, and RGB offsetting.



Text Tool


Whether you're creating memes, adding titles, or text bubbles, the app features a wide selection of 8-bit fonts and borders to enhance your art.
