The app identifies people and turns them into pixel characters while the surrounding environment remains photographic.

PICK

Choose one person from a group.

When multiple people are visible, choose a specific person to pixelate while others remain photographic.

OBJECT

Transform selected objects into pixels.

Select an object and transform it into pixel art while the surrounding scene remains photographic.

Make it your style

Tap LOOK in the upper-left portion of the camera interface. LOOK provides preset pixel styles plus adjustable pixel size, brightness, color, warmth, tint, reset, and other available look controls — from relatively detailed pixelization to large chunky retro-game pixels.

Snap it. Record it. Share it.
