Turn your photos & videos into retro pixel art! PIXEL86 uses vintage dithering & custom palettes to give your media a bold, old-school vintage look.
PIXEL86 — Retro Dithering for Photos & Videos
Make your media look like it came from a cooler, glitchier timeline.
Bring back the charm of vintage tech with PIXEL86, the ultimate tool to transform your photos and videos into pixel-perfect black-and-white or limited-palette art. Inspired by early computer graphics, old-school printers, and classic GIFs — this is retro done right.
True B/W Dithering
No grays. Just black or white pixels smartly arranged to simulate shadows and depth — exactly how early screens did it.
Now Supports Video Editing
Apply your favorite dithering style to video clips. Make every frame look like a piece of pixel-art history.
Color Palettes, Reimagined
Choose from curated vintage-inspired palettes
Hit random for a fresh surprise every time
Or build your own custom palette for a personalized look
Three Dithering Styles
Natural — Smooth, classic error diffusion. Clean and expressive.
Pattern — Retro dot-matrix vibes. Adjustable matrix for custom textures.
Flat — Not technically dithering, but perfect for dramatic, posterized effects in both stills and motion.

Ratings and Reviews
Pretty good if you have the money
It’s actually a pretty decent app if you pay the fee. It’s really nice to be able to dither videos without it even having to be loaded. It’s a bit janky but provides enough color options and allows you to create your own.
2.12 error
Update : the photo error I reported on the 2.12 update was fixed.as said before,this app is great and looking forward to new dither effects.
