Photos, pets, any palette

Every avatar above is a real photo run through the tool with no editing. The first two are the same kind of portrait with different palettes — the automatic palette keeps natural skin tones, while the Game Boy palette locks a retro, stylized feel.

Swapping the palette is the fastest way to change the vibe of an avatar without touching the photo itself.
