Is there a way to scale art without it degrading how it looks? Every time I try to scale my art down it makes it look horrible.

Sadly no. if you want to scale it down you have to redraw. the best thing to do is to scale it and then redraw it. This isn’t just a makecode thing either. you can’t scale without losing some of the quality
