## Overview
Pixelate is a feature within Scenario that converts any image into pixel art through AI-powered processing. Users can upload photos or illustrations and transform them into retro-style pixel art with complete customization over pixel grid sizes (from 16px to 256px) and color palettes. The tool automatically extracts colors or allows custom palette creation with adjustable color counts ranging from simplified 4-8 color looks to richer 16+ color outputs.

The feature is designed for game developers, digital artists, and content creators who need authentic pixel sprites, stylized portraits, and UI elements. Pixelate includes additional refinement options like noise removal for smoother edges and background removal for isolated assets. Users can save and reuse custom settings and palettes to maintain consistency across multiple images and animation frames. One limitation is that the quality of the pixel art conversion depends heavily on the input image resolution and complexity.
