How to Get the Best Results with Negative

Retro and pixel effects transform photographs into stylized graphics. Posterize reduces the color palette to create bold, pop-art-inspired images — fewer colors mean stronger graphic impact. Pixelate creates a mosaic effect useful for retro gaming aesthetics or privacy blurring. Negative inverts all colors, useful for creative effects and X-ray-style imagery.

Choosing your source: These effects work best on images with strong shapes and distinct subjects. Subtle details get lost, so choose source images with clear composition. Crop to frame your subject tightly before applying for the most impactful result.
