Pixelation vs Wplace 63/64-color — why one looks cleaner

Ever noticed that some “image → pixel” tools look muddy, while others feel crisp?

The short answer: palette control.

Generic pixelation keeps too many similar shades; edges blur and ramps get noisy.

Wplace fixes this by using a tight 63/64-color set — fewer mid-tones, cleaner edges.

What to do in practice

1. resize first to a readable small size
2. quantize colors with a fixed palette (not auto-generated)
3. do tiny manual cleanups (1–2 pixels), then export
