I actually cannot believe a company of Fal’s scale calls this “image2pixel”.
If you look at the advanced settings, its *actually* just downscaling.
And not even good downscaling or color quant, using something like https://github.com/KohakuBlueleaf/PixelOE is MILES better.
And charging $0.00017 per second for something you can do CLIENT SIDE is even more insane. Sure its dirt cheap but they somehow made a downscaling operation take **1.87 seconds**. For reference you can do that in client in milliseconds.
For the hell of it I passed the same image through my own actual pixel art model and got this:
And that model isn’t even trained to do this kind of thing. It’s just boring image to image.
