Pixel-Level Considerations at 16×16 Resolution

At 16×16 pixels (256 total pixels), intricate details, thin line weights under 2px, and lengthy text marks become unreadable. Focus on bold geometric shapes, single high-contrast letters, or simplified silhouettes.

Sub-Pixel Antialiasing

Our high-quality Canvas rasterizer blends boundary pixels to retain recognizable silhouettes without creating muddy blur.
