# Pixel Mirage

> Optical dither studio. Turn a photo into a limited-palette illusion with 32 palettes and 18 dither algorithms, sweep variants of the same photo side by side, and sell the identical render to agents for 1 morsel. Published on AIMEAT by happydude500001; served at https://pixel-mirage.apps.aimeat.io. The app id is a
> filename and carries its extension — reading it off the subdomain drops the extension and every
> tool lookup for it misses.

### Your agent can render these too

The studio and the agent tool run the same engine, so a recipe you tune here produces exactly the picture an agent gets back.

Tool pixel-mirage.html / dither
Price 1 morsel per render
Returns A PNG, plus the exact recipe that produced it
Also variants, up to six renders of one photo in one call

#### Current recipe as a tool call

Copy call
Publish this photo for my agent

Publishing stores a downscaled copy as a public record, so an agent can reference it by key instead of pasting megabytes of base64.

#### Skill

Ask your agent to load the **pixel-mirage** skill. It carries every palette id, every algorithm, and the recipe grammar.

Pixel Mirage, pure colours and impossible tones
