ImageToPixelArt

Description

Simple and fast tool to scale down images and make them look like Pixel Art. It also has a very simple border detection algorithm that allows you to add a border to the image.

It has still few features as it's a new project, and has also a very simple GUI, so I'll appreciate any contribution or suggestion for this project.

How to use

Just copy the main.py file.
If you want to use the same theme and font I used, download the Tkinter Theme and the Font, otherwise you can remove or comment out the following lines from main.py:

• to remove the theme:
  • 64
  • 66
  • 67
  • 128
  • 129
• to remove the font:
  • 62
  • 145

Contribute

ANY CONTRIBUTION WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED... really, any

If you want to contribute I can reccomend taking a look at open issues or at unchecked stuff on the Checklist.

Also, I'd really like it if you could create a nice looking GUI, I'm not really creative to be honest. 😩

Anyway, you can always suggest new features, fix typos, speed up algorithms and literally anything else that will somehow improve the code.

Otherwise, if you really want to contribute but you don't know how, you can

Hope you enjoy this project. 😁
