Can you tell me what you did?

Well at the moment no, because my computer is being fixed. But as soon as it's back I'll send you the steps.

This works on Paint.NET too :3 (if no one has pointed that out yet)

you can also do in mspaint by selecting and using ctrl + on numpad (or onscreen keyboard if you don't have a numpad)

Question: What program do you use to make pixel art?
π: 0 β©: 1
personally? Photoshop 7.0 normally. In general though any paint program with a pencil tool

Thank you! I've been dying to do pixel art!

I know that there are free programs out there like gimp or Paint.NET that are capable of it but people use many different programs ^^. It's kind of down to taste of workspace i guess.

This method works for pixel gifs too!

it doesn't work for me, it changed the pixel shape and made it all awkward ._. Β

I'd say the pixels are pretty damn crisp still. No blurred or spread pixels everywhere. Which is what the tutorial is going forΒ Β

yeah they aren't, but the pixels aren't cleaned up.Β

Can you resize like that in SAI? i've tried everything but there's no option to do it with a nearest neighbor algorithm.

What should I do if I only have Paint Tool Sai?
π: 0 β©: 1
I have GIMP, and it refuses to do what I tell it :U

In Gimp you go toΒ Image > Scale Image, Then change px to Percent, like firstfear does and at the bottom select None for Quality.
π: 0 β©: 0
For GIMP, it is:
Image -> Image size;
Linear algorithm.
