How to resize a pixel art image in Photoshop

Check out the original post here.

This is a way not very well known to most people, but certainly very useful when working with pixel art images.

The more, is extremely easy to do:

• First open the image you want to resize in Photoshop.
• Then go to Image > Image Size.
• In the opened panel look to the bottom and click on the drop-down menu like the image below.

• Choose Nearest Neighbor (preserve hard edges).
• If you have checked, like in this case, Constrain Proportions, change the dimension of one between Width or Height.
• In my case i changed the Width from 128 pixels to 1024 pixels.
• Click OK and voilà, you’re done!

As you can see in the image above, the sprite is 8 times bigger than the original without losing it’s quality.
