About Paignion: Pixel Camera
Retro palettes and pixel patterns, rendered live. No editing after the shot — what you see in the viewfinder is what gets saved. LIVE PIXEL RENDERING Paignion runs a real Metal pixel-effect pipeline on every frame of the live camera feed — palette quantization, pattern, and dithering all happen before you tap the shutter, not as a filter applied afterward. 5 ICONIC PALETTES * Game Boy — the classic 4-shade green handheld display * NES — the 64-color palette from the original console's PPU * PICO-8 — the 16-color fantasy-console system palette * C64 — the Commodore 64's Pepto palette * CGA — the 16-color RGBI palette from early PC graphics Palettes work on their own, or paired with any pattern. 3 PATTERNS + REAL BAYER DITHERING * Mosaic — chunky, blocky pixelation * Dot Screen — a single-channel dot grid * Halftone — a true CMY halftone rosette (three independently rotated ink-channel dot grids), full color or on a palette * Authentic ordered (Bayer) dithering, not a random-noise approximation — works with any palette, and it's never gated SCREEN FX Two screen finishes that turn the viewfinder into a tiny console display: CRT-style scanlines, and an LCD pixel-grid bezel overlay. FREE TO START Shoot with the Original (no filter), Game Boy Cam, and Mosaic Only presets at no cost — Bayer dithering is included free with every palette, always. Full Unlock adds the NES, PICO-8, C64, and CGA palettes, the Dot Screen and Halftone patterns, and both Screen FX finishes — a single one-time purchase, not a subscription. EVERYTHING ELSE YOU'D EXPECT * Pinch to zoom, tap to focus * HEIF capture, saved straight to a dedicated "Paignion" album in your Photos library — no separate account, no cloud * In-app gallery to browse, share, and delete your shots * The preset you shot with is written into every photo's own EXIF No ads. No tracking.
