Aseprite: How to Use Pixelart in OBS

OBS has an easier time scaling images up than scaling them down, like you exporting your pixelart at 3200% of its original size to make it fill about a 1/25 of the screen, thats kinda bad cpu wise.

and scaling them at the default 1000% aseprite may not be enough sometimes ether!

*Resized by 1000% pixelart*

Lets make this run better and always look Crisp shall we?

This was the first way i discovered, its pretty easy to do too! this is what i’d use if i had a Lot of images to place it on, like a date scene that needs switch-able icons and a level up bar and such

Import your pixelart into OBS i’ll use the smallest size for this example, this is 100% Aseprite’s default export size

*very blurry no good *

By right clicking the images you can go to Scale Filtering and choose a scale filtering

The Ones that seem to work like nearest neighbour is Point & Area

i’m honestly not the best or very knowledgeable about OBS at all, so i cant explain the why’s

Picking Point or Area you should have your pixelart be scaled by nearest neighbour aka like it should,

Sha-bang boom pow drum roll now

Thanks to BokiBokiPixelart for the info that there was a way to do it through the filter tab! :>

You can Enter the Filter tab by right clicking an images in the sources or the display window!

Here is an Images without a filter, we’ll need to add a scaling filter,
this images is 100% (aseprite default export size)

thas a bit blurry innit? bruv

By adding a filter you’ll be able to specify a Scaling method and a ratio, ( 1:1 is good :> )
