Hi, all. This is just post about a tool, I’ve been working on that allows the user to provide a picture that then returns converted image. That’s in the arcade makecode image format and pallet. Alongside providing extra functionality such as Dithering and different conversion methods that try match each pixel colour to the images colours. The tool was originally created in python as a basic project but then converted using AI over to Javascript to make it more portable as a browser page with AI adding extra functionality mostly due to me having many active projects and never completing them. I wont provide a direct link to the website as not sure that’s allowed so here the github page. > You’re able to download the html page and just drag and drop it to your browser to use it in a completely offline form. I am open to feedback and ideas. As all i want todo is help people. -3rd ---

That implementation is a good one too. The only thing with is the scaled images get blurry or blocky. I think it maybe to do with the possibility Javascript canvas tries adding anti aliasing to the image or blurring to make the picture look smoother? ---

You can copy and paste the code from the git into a note pad and save it as a .html file and then double click it. Make sure you have view extension enabled on your file manger if you’re using windows. Or well i guess i can post it [https://simple.rip/](https://simple.rip/pages/ImageToArcade.html) This is the site where i host it. ---
