Get Retrolium now!Filters
Drop your images into Retrolium and let one of four filters work its nostalgic mischief, turning perfectly normal photos into delightfully questionable retro masterpieces
Pixel Art
The pixel filter turns your images into beautiful pixel art and can be recoloured using the built in or imported colour palettes.
CRT Effect
The CRT filter pixilates and then applies a CRT effect to your images. Perfect for making images that hurt your eyes just like the monitors of old!
Colour by Numbers
If you want to create your own colour by numbers pixel art, now you can!
Print them off and spend hours and hours and hours…etc colouring them in
Barcode
The barcode filter creates an abstract looking barcode of the image using the most prominent colour in each column to come up with the barcode pattern.
Dithering
Dither is the ancient art of sprinkling tiny dots everywhere to fake detail. With Retrolium, you can finally overuse it in your images with the enthusiasm of someone who’s just discovered salt.

Colour Palettes
Recolour your images with our nine carefully curated palettes, because ten felt like showing off.
Treat yourself to: Aurora, Classic CGA, Classic Gameboy, Commodore 64, Grayscale (I know!), Intellivision, LCD, NES, Teletext.
And if you need more? No problem you can import .hex colour palette files
You want more colours?!
Greed is the route to all evil you know, but ok, you can generate custom palettes from your image as well.
Editor?
Oh, you want to edit pixels manually? Fine.
Enjoy your two luxurious tools: pen and eraser. Don’t spend them all at once.
