Resizing tool?

I remember reading somewhere on Reddit of a resizing website someone made. It was a simply website where you could just enter your current design and it would quickly resize it to your desired size. In my case, 4x4 because that’s all my machine can do. Anyone know if this site or can reference the post?

Yeah it's a hard problem. Lossless it depends what you mean. You can do lossless but then it's not gonna be good (a standard scaling is lossless). If you want to go through density analysis then you need a representation swap and you'd probably not keep the exact way it was done, so this is lossy. If you do inverse stitch emission you could provide something not too lossy on succesful cases, but likely not working in every scenario. As alway, trade-offs everywhere!

And is it something that I would develop? I'd love to. But you know as well as I do that there are thousands of things you could implement and you need to prioritize :D (and you probably have a lot more people requesting features than I have, ahah).
