Pixel Art Image Converter

Pixel Art Image is a image format created just as a test, and because I had nothing better to do. Fun fact: this was a shower thought.

It is horribly implemented, but takes a smaller file size than PNG for most images it was designed for (Pixel Art)

Size Comparison

| Name | Size | PAI Size | PNG Size | | ------------- |---------| -----| -----| | Bassalt | 16x16 | 712 bytes | 3370 bytes | | Block | 16x16 | 50 bytes | 131 bytes | | Smiley | 16x16 | 219 bytes | 410 bytes | | Brick | 32x32 | 78 bytes | 184 bytes | | Tree | 64x64 | 355 bytes | 740 bytes |

Installation

# Using NPM:
npm i pai-converter

# Using Yarn:
yarn add pai-converter

Getting Started

Import the package:

import { toPaiImage, paiToImage } from 'pai-converter';

Now you can save convert images to and from PAI and PNG!

Convert to PAI from PNG:

import { toPaiImage } from 'pai-converter';

toPaiImage('smiley.png', {
	seperators: { pixel: '@', line: '&', size: ':', multiLine: 'x' },
	quality: 11,
	writeToFile: true,
	fileName: 'smiley.pai',
});

Convert to PNG from PAI:

import { paiToImage } from 'pai-converter';

paiToImage('smiley.pai', 'smiley-converted.png');

Closing Note

• I'm not going to document the rest of this unless there is actually a want, but it is created in Typescript and therefor has types and interfaces :)
