perfectPixel is a workflow tool for turning messy “pixel-style” images, especially those produced by generative models, into truly grid-aligned pixel art that reads cleanly at any scale. It tackles a common problem with AI pixel art: edges that look pixelated at first glance but are not actually aligned to a coherent pixel grid, which causes shimmer, blur, and uneven block sizes when you zoom in. The tool analyzes an image to infer the intended grid size, then refines and quantizes the artwork so pixels snap into consistent cells and the final result looks crisp and intentional. This makes it useful for game developers, sprite artists, and hobbyists who want to use AI-assisted ideation without shipping “almost pixel art” assets. It is designed to be easy to slot into an existing pipeline, whether you are batch-processing images or cleaning up a few key assets for a project.
Features

- Quantizes and cleans edges to reduce blur and uneven block sizes
- Helpful for sprites, tiles, icons, and retro-style game assets
- Easy to integrate into existing art or generation workflows
- Includes a demo-friendly approach for quick experimentation
