⚙️ AI Content Clarification

Ref2Pixel itself does not use any generative AI. The software runs entirely offline using deterministic, algorithmic processing. Input reference images may include AI-generated material, but the resulting pixel art is created by the program’s own algorithms, not by AI. Any AI usage applies only to user-provided references or marketing visuals, not to the software or its outputs.
