Good to know: Works locally in your browser with JPG, PNG and WebP. No images are sent to the server. Maximum 10 MB per file, 8 megapixels and 4096 pixels per side. Up to two images only for comparison; other tools use one. Outputs have the same pixel size unless the tool explicitly changes it. Static images only; animation and original metadata are not preserved. Keep your original files.

How to use it (step by step)

  1. 1Choose your image.
  2. 2Set dot spacing in pixels; larger spacing gives larger, fewer dots.
  3. 3Create and download PNG. Transparent areas are composited on white; this is not a calibrated press screen.

Words to know

Halftone dots
Dots with different sizes create the appearance of light and dark areas. This tool creates an image effect, not professional press separations.
EXIF / metadata
Hidden information stored inside a photo: camera, date and sometimes the exact place it was taken.
Resolution / pixels
A picture is made of tiny dots called pixels. 1080×1920 means 1,080 dots wide and 1,920 tall.
JPG, PNG, WebP
Picture file types. JPG is best for photos, PNG for graphics and see-through backgrounds, WebP is newer and smaller.
Data storage units
Sizes of digital files: 1 KB ≈ a short text, 1 MB ≈ a photo, 1 GB ≈ a movie. 1 GB = 1,000 MB (or 1,024 in computer counting).
