Use the free ImageMagick tools to script special effects (on the command line).
Let's start with a "plain vanilla" punk, that is, #2890 and let's use the 4x (96×96) version and turn it into a captioned polaroid-like photo:
$ magick convert punk2890x4.png \
-gravity center -set caption "Punk #2890" \
-caption '%c' \
-border 5x5 \
-bordercolor AliceBlue -background black +polaroid \

And let's try some more:
Let's start with a "plain vanilla" punk, that is, #2890 and let's use 2x magnified (48×48) version using a (smooth) pixel art scaling algorithm¹):
Note¹: ImageMagic uses the scale2x algorithm
$ magick convert punk2890.png \
-magnify \
[email protected]
And doubling again (4x):
$ magick convert punk2890.png \
-magnify -magnify \
[email protected]
And doubling again (8x):
$ magick convert punk2890.png \
-magnify -magnify -magnify \
[email protected]
And let's try some more:
Power Tip - Let's retry with the high quality scale (hqx) pixel art scaling algorithm family in the 2x, 3x and 4x variants.
Note: A free ImageMagick tools installation gets you a copy of ffmpeg. Let's try:
$ ffmpeg -i punk2890.png \
-filter_complex hqx=2 \
[email protected]
And 3x:
$ ffmpeg -i punk2890.png \
-filter_complex hqx=3 \
[email protected]
And 4x:
$ ffmpeg -i punk2890.png \
-filter_complex hqx=4 \
[email protected]
And let's try some more:
And so on. Yes, you can.
