Small icon grids need a shape that still reads when details disappear. Crop around the main mark and remove background clutter before converting.
Most logos, badges, and face icons look cleaner at a smaller size. Increase to 48x48 only when the outline or lettering becomes unreadable.
Use a tighter max-color setting for icons so the finished grid has strong blocks instead of scattered single-cell noise.
Use 24x24 for very simple symbols and 32x32 for most icon references. Try 48x48 only for detailed logos or character faces.
Usually no. Crisp icons and logos copy better with clean flat colors, while dithering can make small shapes harder to follow.
No. These recipes are manual Palette House references. Open an item in Grid Maker, then copy the numbered or plain grid by hand.
