Hey everyone! Thanks for checking out PixelPerfect Indexer.

I built this tool to make retro game art generation as painless as possible, but I'm always looking for ways to improve it.

If you run into any weird behavior, crashes, or formatting issues (especially with the PICO-8 exports), please drop a comment in this thread!

When reporting a bug, it helps to include:

  • What console/palette you were targeting
  • A brief description of what went wrong
  • If it crashed, any error messages you saw

Got an idea for a cool new feature or a console palette I missed? Let me know below! I'll be checking this regularly.

Not a bug -- just like to know if custom-built palettes (or downloads from lospec.com) are possible.

Yes, Version 1.1 supports importing custom palettes directly from Lospec

To use them, just download the .hex(preferably)  .pal, and png image format. drag and drop the file directly into Lospec Palette button

About the custom workflow:  Currently you can't create a  "fully new" custom palette from scratch. The starting point is always your original image. From there, you can:

  • Color Reduction and applying the presets
  • Lock Colors: Pick up to 10 specific colors you want to keep exactly as they are in the preview.
  • Delete Colors: Pick up to 10 colors you want to strip out when lowering the colors in the image.
  • Swap Colors: Replace colors you don't want with one from your indexed palette. This part is a bit finicky right now, but I’m planning to make it more intuitive soon.  


Thanks for the quick reply!
