pixel-art-scaler

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides deterministic algorithms to accurately upscale pixel art, preserving its intended aesthetic by intelligently adding sub-pixels, unlike simple scaling methods or AI upscalers that can introduce unwanted artifacts.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Multiple Algorithms: Supports EPX/Scale2x, hq2x/hq4x, and xBR/Super-xBR for varying quality and speed trade-offs.
• Deterministic Results: Ensures consistent, predictable upscaling that respects the original pixel art.
• Use Case: You have a set of 16x16 pixel art game sprites and need to scale them up to 64x64 for a modern display. This Skill can apply algorithms like xBR to maintain sharp edges and detail, providing a much better result than simple nearest-neighbor scaling.

Quick Start

Use the pixel-art-scaler skill to upscale the file 'input.png' to 'output.png' using the EPX algorithm at 2x scale.
