A) 🙃 LET US SAY

You can easily convert selfies and other pictures into pixel art going back then to an HD image (but as a painting) very easily!

Lighten it up to 100 - 1000x

Pixel art can be stored inside blockchain technology at low cost, enabling to be stored for thousands of year without downtime everywhere!

But hey, here we do it even greater with pixa.pics... We upscale it with smart algortihms!

At the crossroads of mathematical worlds (radix) researchers from around the world allow us to code algorithms aimed at reducing images from 2.8 million bytes to only 8.9 thousand bytes (always equal to 8 bits or 1 byte... ).

Aiming to keep Ultra HD 4K+ resolution, we enlarge a thumbnail (yes, pixel art) with algorithms that helped "REMASTER" the greatest video game franchises of the 80s-90s for true-to-life quality. beauty of our current computer hardware.

This allows a lot of people to do better than a whole lot of stuff for drawing, education, blockchain, NFTs and image processing/storage...


https://pixa.pics/ — Unleash potential (un)-limited.


Yet many drawing tools and selection mode enables you to be creative (and decentralize everything)!

  • Copyleft and copyright can get shifted!
  • Anonymize selfies (keep details masked, reduce entropy of data).
  • Compress 100x-1000x a visual scene into less than 12 Kb PNGs that scales in HD.
  • Do more, without less... This is pixaaaaa! (pics)

1) What does it cost?

Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person to use this software.

Nevertheless, the aforementioned project (i.e. https://pixa.pics/) whose source code is said to be "open" (visible on: https://github.com/pixa-pics/pixa-pics .github.io) needs for the coming year an amount of 75000 US dollar to operate as drawing software in the field of pixelart and digital-painting (art) among others NFTs ( so-called digital cryptographic tokens) being free and open-source.

2) Anonymization of visual subjects

This project allows anonymization of the target visual subject directly on import by reducing the number of colors and the number of pixels present in the raster image (which is just a pixel grid with a few bonus colors) and allowing retouching of it in an interface made in Switzerland, which offers tools for drawing and retouching tints and colors as well as shapes via functions and algorithms on clicking certain buttons inside this software, available under simply "MIT" license via the WEB...

3) Lighten the online-self up

A person can preserve details of their private life and still publish digital paintings of their portrait without risking leaving pejorative details, or deliberately harming the online-self of the person, since the output files only contain 1:100 to 1:1000 of the weight of the source data for an HD image also which more-is will be a form of artwork disregarded from the eventual copyright that protected the base image.

4) Preserving yourself as your own hero

It is useful in the field of the protection of the private sphere and the online-self, in the field of drawing and image editing, also in the creation of so-called "intelligent" NFTs as well as in the artistic field quite simply. Meanwhile, also between the search and identification of missing persons and the anonymization and copyleft (un-copyright) of visual subjects... A real tool for the creation of "artistic situations being safer than safe".

B) 🤔 Tomorrow is knocking!

Pixa.Pics stands in favor of the freedom of expression, communication, education; respect for the privacy of citizens and civil rights in general. We defend the free flow of ideas, knowledge and culture as the software is completely free and open-source.

IT CLAIMS TO BE THE UNBREAKABLE, UNCHANGABLE, UNSTOPPABLE Ace of Automatic Information; Blockchain is a list of transactions grouped into multiple blocks that constitute a state in a machine that changes according to a cryptography-based agreement AND between its participating terminals through a data network. This technology allows you to save and keep a structured data set for centuries flawlessly.

We strongly believe bold the following recklessly for a while. The Internet has become an oligopoly Disneyland with little innovation. The central banks have corrupted money - the operating system of society. We see blockchain as a new computing platform with novel features, that could both, bring a new phase of innovation, and redefine the existing monetary systems. We want to contribute to bringing a better future sooner. Hence, ten months ago, we founded pixa pics.

And so, when we talk about privacy and anonymity or pecuniary freedom, it wouldn't occur to some that non-fungible tokens are a good reason to think that.

C) ⚡ What does it perform?

This is PIXAAAAA! An awesome pixel art editor made with material design guideline trends and awesome web technologies! 100% visionary in privacy concerns/critics and against detractors with its development that has enabled to show an online-self (image) within a minimalistic version of an high definition image (minima-art), to which, looks like pixel art throughout an automatic resize and color quantization, and then to up-scale it way beyond Full HD through an algorithm that makes it happens to make it looking like a painting, while it will generate an infinite SVG and 6x bigger PNG version of the minima-art.

  • Protect images.
  • Sanitizing private data before processing it remotely.
  • Staying on the front line of dropping cost as it is a FOSS.
  • Getting to openly fight what misses being just great, while boring good exists.
  • Staying modern without paying anything for useless and toxic ultra-simplification tools.

Does https://pixa.pics/pixel get?

As a team we have a commitment to work collaboratively, and participate with maximum transparency and thus lastly, we also supports free speech, anti-corruption and net neutrality facing it with the swords of code we are forging to improve the third web’s major update.

D) 🎖️ Special features

Screenshot of the minima's laboratory of pixa.pics (which is a pixel art editor).

  • Create pixel art from your pictures and draw, cut, select, do anything.
  • Have fun with NFTs weighting as low as ~10-100Kb.
  • Restore and colorize B/W while scaling up to 12x images.

E) 👑 Technology

  • Low-Level-JavaScript just like asm.js or SIMD.js for blazing efficient color operation
  • Multi-threading (Web Worker)
  • GPU's optimisation (CSS3 Transform+will-change)
  • Fast compression (LZP3 with low-level-javascript over 2/3 weight-loose compression very fast)
  • Serialization using CBOR for efficient savings of typed array pixel matrix
  • Offline Cache & Auto Save (PouchDB)
  • AI Processing (Deepai.org, !remote!)
  • 4 algorithm up-Scaling artwork up to 4-8x as painting (xBRZ, Omniscale, hqNx, EPX)*
  • Vectorized (output an infinitely high definition SVG file) (ImageTracerJS)
  • Color Quantization Custom named QuantiMat)
  • Always encode well Portable Network Graphics in type of palette (we save 70% of size) (PNGQuant, + OXIPNG)
  • Chunk ("norris") webpack system for dropping script evaluation cost within CPU
  • WASM Hashing function for detecting change in history of editing (XXHash)

Modules we built (Soon available on Github and NPM)

  • SIMDope (23.8 kB minified 0 dep., only 5 kB with Gzip) for computing color blending within list or for shifting between color format (It is greatly inspired by SIMD.JS which take advantage of the CPU architecture having a faster cache than RAM while meaning (Single Instruction Multiple Data), it enables doing some task as much as 4x quicker, although we already written our code in ASM.JS specification to cast intger to 32 bits in most case and again it is very very very fast, probably the faster color processing library in pure javscript.
  • QuantiMat (15.2kB minified 0 dep, only 3 kB with Gzip) is used for color quantization it can reduce an image with 50K colors down to 2K colors in 88ms with ease, 500K OPS (1 OP = distance + blending + ordering, ...) / SEC, we achieve one of the greatest quality, when you diminish initial colors 20 times, after processing you can't clearly see any differences except it also removes pixel color glitches and so enables a better quality. We achieve this speed thanks to SIMDope, but also thanks to sorting colors in either 4096, 256, or 16 clusters that takes a binary reduction of color component down to numbers from 0 to the number of cluster and this enables to not compare all of them to all of them savings millions of operations,

Look! On the STEEM blockchain you can post base64 text, transactions are rigged to 73Kb at maxima but STEEM is now kinda old for a blockchain.

G) SDK for up-scaling images

import Pixa from "xxx-pixa-pics-upscale"; // Soon ready
import xbrz from "xxx-pixa-pics-upscale/xbrz"; // Soon online

var pixa = new Pixa();
pixa.add(xbrz)
pixa.upscale(base64, "xbrz").then(function(base642nd){

    //img.src = base642nd;
});

The SDK is being developed from our source code.


About me: My name is Matias Affolter, and I love to build tools for humanity, my code is my voice, my weapon of choice. I know that uniquely we are free, together and naturally we are just stronger and that's why I need you supporting the project to pay the contributors, a little incentive given with a little bit of love, no one is against it!

Of course the mission I assigned to myself was enabling artworks talking about one's life being customizable and yet anonymous. Because we can store those artworks inside some blockchain technology (entirely, not only a proof) to make it last centuries from now without too many details in it, isn't over, I will need new ideas and contributors, and also more!

Your kindness helping the project in anyways is great, don't hesitate to fork, star, and share!


Z) Legal concerns and acknowledgment

  • All splendid emoji named Notoemoji from Google (Android) and Tweemoji by Twitter (free and open-source yet with mention).
  • Illustrations magically found on Undraw and ManyPixels to shine in those passionate forms and functions.
  • Most awesome sound effects by Google, simply not evil.
  • Great music on home page arrival by Red Eclipse (video game) and piano melody in the editor by long time dead Tesla Nikola (inventor).

Please, just read the privacy policy while our licence follows similar lines of intentions about what ideal we must being trying to understand legally and morally nevertheless.
