Scalability
Pixel art represented in CSS can be easily scaled up and down without losing quality since it's defined through code, as opposed to raster images that can blur when resized.
Performance
CSS pixel art can potentially have better performance because it's composed of lightweight CSS code rather than additional image files, reducing load times.
Editable
Pixel art in CSS can be easily modified by altering the code, which allows for quick tweaks without needing to recreate graphical assets.
Responsive Design
Using CSS for pixel art allows for responsive design adjustments, meaning artworks can adapt to different device sizes and orientations with media queries.
No Dependency on Image Files
With pixel art in CSS, there’s no reliance on external image files, simplifying file management and eliminating the risk of broken image links.

Complexity
Creating detailed pixel art using CSS can be highly complex and verbose, as it requires precise coding for each pixel, which can be cumbersome and hard to manage.
Browser Compatibility
There may be compatibility issues with some CSS properties across different browsers, which can affect the appearance and functionality of pixel art displays.
Design Limitations
CSS pixel art is limited to the capabilities of CSS. Complex gradients and detailed images that are easy to create in graphic software might be very difficult to reproduce.
Performance at Scale
While small pixel art can be performant, large or intricate designs can lead to increased DOM size and potentially degrade performance due to the extensive CSS required.
Learning Curve
There is a steeper learning curve for those who are not familiar with CSS or coding in general, which can be a barrier for designers who are used to graphic design tools.
