The Technology Behind the Magic

🎨 Wplace Color Palette

Wplace uses a carefully curated 64-color palette with 16 free colors and 48 premium colors. Our converter intelligently maps your image colors to the closest matches in this palette.

Color Matching Process:
  • Analyze each pixel's RGB values
  • Calculate color distance using Delta E algorithm
  • Find closest Wplace palette color
  • Apply dithering for smooth gradients

🤖 AI Optimization

Our AI analyzes your image to suggest optimal settings for the best quality-to-cost ratio. It considers image complexity, color distribution, and content type.

AI Recommendations:
  • Optimal pixel size based on detail level
  • Best scaling algorithm for image type
  • Dithering settings for smooth gradients
  • Cost estimation and optimization tips

🔒 Privacy & Performance

All processing happens locally in your browser using WebGL acceleration and Web Workers. Your images never leave your device.

Technical Features:
  • Client-side processing only
  • WebGL hardware acceleration
  • Multi-threaded Web Workers
  • Zero data collection

Understanding the Settings

📏 Pixel Size

Controls how many pixels your image is divided into. Smaller values create more detailed pixel art but cost more droplets.

1-4px: Ultra-detailed, expensive
8-16px: Balanced quality/cost
32px+: Simple, cost-effective

🔧 Scaling Method

Nearest Neighbor: Sharp, crisp pixels. Best for logos and existing pixel art.
Bilinear: Smooth scaling. Good for photos with gradients.
Lanczos: Highest quality. Best for detailed images, slower processing.

✨ Dithering

Adds controlled noise to create smoother color transitions and preserve detail in areas with limited colors. Especially useful for photos with gradients.

💡 Pro Tips

🎯 For Best Results

Use high-contrast images with clear subjects. Avoid very busy or noisy backgrounds.

💰 Save Droplets

Use AI Optimization to find the sweet spot between quality and cost. Start with 8-16px pixel size.

⚡ Faster Processing

Use Nearest Neighbor scaling for speed. Process smaller images or increase pixel size for quicker results.
