Dithering tips
Dithering works well for retro game art, zine-style graphics, monochrome print effects, and stylized thumbnails. Raise the threshold for lighter images and lower it when the result is too washed out.
Frequently asked questions
What is image dithering?
Dithering uses small visible dot or pixel patterns to simulate shades with a limited color set.
Is my image uploaded?
No. Your image stays in your browser and processing runs locally.
Should I use PNG or JPG?
PNG keeps crisp dither edges. JPG can be smaller, but compression may soften the pattern.
