About This Software

Sora's Pixel Stream transforms your webcam or screen capture into stunning pixel art — in real-time, powered entirely by your GPU.

Designed for streamers, VTubers, and content creators, it works seamlessly with OBS as a Window Capture source. Every effect runs in a single WebGL shader pass, delivering smooth performance with zero CPU overhead.

Real-Time Pixel Art Conversion

Choose from 18 iconic palettes — Game Boy, NES, CGA, C64, PICO-8, Sweetie 16, RISO, CMYK, and more. Fine-tune your look with 4x4 Bayer dithering, brightness, contrast, and saturation controls.

Live Streaming Effects

• VHS — Authentic analog degradation via YIQ bandwidth limiting: jitter, head-switching noise, dropouts, and chroma bleed for that genuine 90s tape look.

• Glitch — Trigger burst glitches or set them to loop at random intervals. Adjust intensity, block size, and chromatic aberration.

• CRT Scanlines — Authentic retro TV look with barrel distortion, phosphor glow, and flicker.

• Static Noise — Broken TV interference with rolling bars.

• Screen Shake — One-tap burst for dramatic moments.

• Color Cycle — HSV hue rotation and palette shifting for psychedelic visuals.

• Vignette — Subtle edge darkening for cinematic framing.

• Audio Reactive — Connect your mic to drive glitch effects or color cycling with your voice or music.

One-Button Combo Effects

Trigger cinematic moments instantly:

• GLITCH FREEZE — Freeze frame with glitch distortion, flash, and unfreeze.

• FLASH CUT — Flash to white, hold a frozen frame, then slam back.

• BROKEN TV — Static, CRT flicker, screen shake, and glitch all at once — then auto-fade.

Render Styles

Go beyond pixels with additional render modes:

• Halftone — Classic print-style dot pattern with adjustable size and angle.

• Toon Shading — Cartoon cel-shading with edge detection.

• ASCII Art — Matrix-style character rendering with optional green terminal mode.

Chroma Key (True Alpha)

Remove green or blue screen backgrounds at the app level — not in OBS. This means all your pixel art effects, glitches, and color cycling work perfectly with transparent backgrounds. Essential for VTubers who want pixel art effects over their avatar.

King Blade Penlight

Add animated glowing penlight sticks to the bottom of your screen — perfect for VTuber singing streams. Choose from 8 color presets or any custom hue, with adjustable count, speed, swing, glow, and size.

Hamster Crowd

A cheering crowd of pixel hamsters bounces along the bottom of your screen, reacting to your mic — the louder the hype, the higher they jump. Adjustable count, size, and sensitivity.

Stream Stats Overlay

Display your YouTube or Twitch subscriber count and live viewer count in a retro Windows 95-style overlay — no API keys needed.

Stream Deck & Hotkey Support

Map every effect to F13–F24 keys for instant Stream Deck control. Fully customizable key bindings.
