What kind of photo gives the best pattern?
For the best results, choose a photo that is clear and well-lit, with good contrast. Simpler images with fewer distracting background elements often convert into clearer patterns. Remember to only upload photos for which you have the right to use, ensuring you respect copyright and intellectual property.
How do I choose grid size and number of colors?
You can adjust both the grid width (from about 20 to 120 cells) and the number of colors (from 2 to 30) to suit your project. A larger grid width and more colors will capture finer detail, while a smaller grid and fewer colors will create a more abstract or simplified look. Experiment to find what works best for your chosen craft and desired outcome.
