Four shades of photography.
2bit.pics is a home for photos taken on the Game Boy Camera — the 1998 add-on that squeezes every shot down to 128×112 pixels and four shades of gray. No filters, no bokeh, no megapixels. Just a tiny sensor, a lot of dithering, and whatever you can get away with in two bits per pixel.
Committed to the bit
Every photo on 2bit.pics is stored as genuine Game Boy Camera tile data — 16×14 tiles, 2 bits per pixel. Shoot on real hardware and that’s just what comes off the sensor. Upload a photo instead and we dither it down to the same format before it’s saved. Either way, what lands in your feed is the real four-shade file, not a look you can dial back later.
Four shades, your choice
The camera only ever records four brightness levels — but which four colors those levels map to is up to you. Post in the original Game Boy’s sickly green, the Pocket’s washed-out gray, or something you mixed yourself. Switch your Site Palette anytime and every photo on 2bit.pics redraws in it.
Own your photos
2bit.pics runs on AT Protocol, the same open network behind Bluesky. Sign in with your handle and your photos stay yours — not locked inside 2bit.pics. Follow, like, comment, and build a feed, knowing your account is portable to anywhere else the network goes.
