Professional Image Dithering Tool
Dithering is a technique used in computer graphics to create the illusion of color depth in images with a limited color palette. By placing pixels of different colors in a specific pattern, the human eye perceives a wider range of colors than are actually present. Our tool brings professional-grade dithering algorithms directly to your browser.
- Multiple Algorithms: Choose from Floyd-Steinberg, Atkinson, Stucki, and more for varied artistic effects.
- Custom Color Depth: Control exactly how many colors are used in your dithered image.
- Privacy First: All image processing happens locally on your device. Your photos are never uploaded to any server.
When to use Dithering?
Retro Gaming Art: Create sprites and backgrounds that mimic the 8-bit or 16-bit console era.
Print Media: Prepare images for newspapers or magazines where color depth might be limited.
Stylized Photography: Add a unique artistic grain and texture to your digital photos.
Web Optimization: Reduce file size by limiting color palettes while maintaining visual quality.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Floyd-Steinberg dithering?
It is an image dithering algorithm that uses error diffusion, meaning it pushes the residual quantization error of a pixel onto its neighboring pixels, creating a smooth transition between colors.
Does it work with grayscale images?
Yes, you can toggle the Grayscale Dither Effect to convert any image into a high-quality dithered grayscale version.
Is there a limit on file size?
We support images up to 10MB each. For larger files, the processing might be slower depending on your device's performance.
How do I download dithered images?
You can download images individually using the 'Download' button or get all processed images in a single ZIP file using the 'All (ZIP)' button.
