Reshape an image's style
Change the palette and corrections to reshape the same image as a vintage poster, retro game graphic, monochrome artwork, and more.
Palette Forge is a browser-based editor for reconstructing the colors of images and videos with the palette you choose. Adjust color correction, fixed colors, palette weights, surface cleanup, pixelation, and other conversion controls in a single workflow.
Change the palette and corrections to reshape the same image as a vintage poster, retro game graphic, monochrome artwork, and more.
Lock a brand or character color, then tune its weight to control how strongly it appears across the result.
Set block size and alpha behavior, then clean small color noise to turn an original into crisp limited-color pixel art.
Keep one palette across a whole video or adapt it by scene while reducing distracting color flicker between frames.
Each study records its palette, corrections, and the reason those settings were chosen.
