What is Sora's Pixel Stream?

A free real-time pixel art filter for OBS and live streaming. It converts camera or screen capture into retro pixel art using WebGL shaders, with customizable palettes, glitch, CRT, and color effects. Created by Ameniwa.

How does it work with OBS?

Open the page in Chrome, select your camera or screen source, then in OBS add a Window Capture source pointing to the Chrome window. OBS Browser Source cannot access camera/screen capture, so Window Capture is required.

What effects and palettes are available?

16 color palettes (Sora, Game Boy, NES, CGA, C64, PICO-8, Sweetie 16, Pastel, Mono, Sepia, Sunset, Ocean, Earth, Sakura, Cyber, Horror), plus effects: Glitch (with audio-reactive mode), CRT scanlines with curvature, Color Cycle, Palette Cycle (HSV rotation), Vignette, and adjustable pixel size, brightness, contrast, saturation, and dither.

Does it support audio-reactive effects?

Yes. The Glitch and Color Cycle effects can be driven by microphone input, creating visuals that react to your voice or music in real-time. Each effect has an independent sensitivity control.

What devices and browsers are supported?

Any modern web browser with WebGL support on desktop. A desktop Electron app is also available with an always-on-top output window for easier OBS integration. Available in 9 languages.
