I released a small update to thepixelator.com today. Originally the Close Pixelate library allowed for remote image parsing through a separate service called by the JS code however now the service no longer works. So as of today, the Pixelator does its own leg work of downloading a temporary copy of the images you want to manipulate. Images are only stored locally for a short period before being deleted.

I’ve updated the github repository, so you’re always welcome to download the script and look at the code. :)

A friend hipped me to the fact that The Pixelator is now on makeawesomeweb. Cool.

Cool! My Pixelator script is now being featured on Mozilla Demo Studios:

Just released the first version of The Pixelator. A simple Canvas-based script for pixelating, linking to, and saving modified images. Based on Close-Pixelate by David DeSandro.

I know, I know. I have responsibilities. I have real work to do. I have contracts, a day job, open source projects to work on and support but…

- based on David Desantro’s Close Pixelate script.

Only works in Chrome, and probably Safari.
