Intermediate3-5 minutes

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Upload Source Image

Select any image file to apply dithering effects.

💡 Tip: Photographs work well, but simple images show dithering patterns clearly

2

Choose Dithering Algorithm

Select from various algorithms: Floyd-Steinberg, Ordered, Atkinson, etc.

💡 Tip: Floyd-Steinberg provides the most natural-looking results

3

Set Color Depth

Choose number of colors (2-256) for the dithering effect.

💡 Tip: Lower color counts (2-16) create more pronounced dithering patterns

4

Adjust Parameters

Fine-tune brightness, contrast, and dithering strength.

💡 Tip: Experiment with different settings to achieve desired artistic effect

5

Apply Dithering

Click "Apply Dithering" to process your image.

💡 Tip: Processing is usually instant for most images

6

Download Result

Save your dithered image in PNG format to preserve quality.

💡 Tip: Dithered images work well for retro gaming and pixel art aesthetics

💡 Pro Tips

  • Dithering works best with continuous tone images (photographs)
  • Lower color depths create more visible dithering patterns
  • Different algorithms produce unique visual characteristics
  • Use for retro gaming aesthetics or artistic expression
  • Combine with other effects for unique artistic results
  • PNG format preserves the pixel-perfect nature of dithered images
