Games Like Pixel Lens: Real-time Pixel Art Filter

Place a lens, and watch any video turn into pixel art in real time.

■ Overview

Pixel Lens is a real-time conversion tool that overlays a "pixel-art lens" on top of your desktop.

Just drop the lens over a video or game, and our in-house lightweight AI turns the image into pixel art on the spot. Anime, YouTube, web browsers, gameplay — anything on your screen, only the area you choose.

Audio plays through unchanged, so you can add the fun of "watching in pixel art" without compromising your viewing experience.

* A DirectX 12-compatible GPU is required. Please see the system requirements below for details.
