Plain descriptions, useful technical names

Choose by what looks wrong.

If the edges look fuzzy

Use Downscale. It makes a large picture smaller without squashing it or leaving a pale border.

If the “pixels” look uneven

Use Pixel-grid repair. A grid is simply the invisible row and column pattern that keeps every pixel the same size. SpriteReady can estimate it. You can adjust the grid when the suggestion does not fit.

If the colours look dirty

Use Clean palette. A palette is the small set of colours used by the picture. SpriteReady removes nearly identical shades while protecting details.

01

Choose your picture

Your image stays in the browser. SpriteReady shows the original beside the result so the difference is easy to judge.

02

Start with the suggested settings

You do not need to understand the technical controls. Run the suggested cleanup first, then adjust only if the example tells you why.

03

Download or keep refining

Try another cleanup tool on the same picture without spending another fix. The original is always kept safe.
