unfake.js

What it does

AI images that look like pixel art usually are not: the palette is too large and the grid is misaligned, which makes them unusable as game assets. This tool re-quantises and re-aligns them into genuine pixel art, or converts images into vectors that stay sharp when scaled. There is a browser tool as well as a library. Settings need tuning per image, and it cannot rescue an image whose underlying structure is too far gone.
