Two browser tools, one per section, both free and with no sign-up.

Why do you think the link is worth adding on this list?

Vector/Image Editor — Image to Pixel Art. The section already lists Pixelator ("turn any image into fancy pixel-art"), but it is a paid Mac app, and the closest free entries are editors you draw in rather than converters. This one takes an existing image and does the conversion itself: you set the grid width, pick a palette (original colours reduced, or a fixed retro set like Game Boy, NES or PICO-8) and optionally add Floyd-Steinberg or Bayer dithering. Export scales from 1x to 16x so the result stays crisp.

Texture Tools — Texture Pack Maker. The section is small and aimed at making single textures. This one works on a whole pack at once: you drop a .zip (or a .jar), choose a style, and it applies the same treatment to every texture and returns an installable pack with the right format number. Useful when you want a consistent look across hundreds of files instead of editing them one at a time.

Both run entirely client-side — nothing is uploaded, which also means they work offline once loaded.

Does this project has any License?

The tools are free to use, with no account and no paid tier. The site itself is not open source, so I have marked both entries with 🆓 rather than 🎉, matching the two PixelChart entries already in the list.


Disclosure: I am the maker of these tools. Added one entry per section, each in its alphabetical position, descriptions in the same style as the surrounding entries.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

README.md adds two free PixelChart resources: a texture pack maker and an image-to-pixel-art converter.

Changes

PixelChart resources

Layer / File(s) Summary
Add PixelChart tools
README.md
The graphics section now lists a browser-based Texture Pack Maker and an Image to Pixel Art tool with adjustable grids, retro palettes, dithering, and PNG export.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1bae1

The PR adds two documentation entries, but one Pixel entry remains out of alphabetical order, leaving the list inconsistent. The change is otherwise mergeable with owner awareness and a small README follow-up.

Explanation

No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 0 functions across 0 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Full details: Readme Validation

Explanation

The two added URLs use HTTPS, resolve to the public address 76.76.21.21, have no redirects, and returned HTTP 200. Both entries use exactly one allowed :free: prefix. The Texture Tools subsection is ordered. The new PixelChart Image to Pixel Art entry at README.md:161 is not in alphabetical position: Pixanima and Pixelator must precede it, while Pixelmator must follow it. The PR-only diff confirms that this entry was introduced at that position. A broader link audit found 60 failures among pre-existing URLs; those URLs are unchanged and are not attributed to this PR.

Resolution

Sort the complete Vector/Image Editor subsection. Place PixelChart Image to Pixel Art after Pixanima and Pixelator, and before Pixelmator. Also correct the existing subsection ordering violations, including Pixelicious/PlainTextures and SVG to PNG/SVGcode, so every subsection satisfies the check.
