8Bit Photo Lab Retro Effects – App Review

8Bit Photo Lab Retro Effects is a free Android app developed by Ilixa in the Multimedia category, specifically under Photography. The app allows users to convert any image from their phone or camera into retro 8-bit pixel art with ease. With over 50 color palettes to choose from, including GameBoy, NES, Commodore 16 & 64, and more, users can create pixel art, pixelate photos, design flashy posters, and even make memes. The app offers 15 dithering types such as error diffusion, noise, pattern, and checkerboard, allowing for the simulation of a larger range of colors than what the limited palette offers. It has a finely selectable resolution range from 8 x 8 to 2048 x 2048, multiple pixel aspect ratios, and attribute clash modes. Users can also add retro 8-bit text and glitches, as well as 8-bit stickers to their creations. The app has a free version and a paid PRO version, which unlocks more features such as wallpapers, extra glitches, fonts and borders, and lossless file compression up to 4096 x 4096 in PNG format.
