Frequently Asked Questions
Is my image data secure when using this tool?
Yes. All image processing happens 100% client-side in your browser. Your images never leave your device.
Is this image dithering tool free?
Absolutely. This tool is completely free with unlimited usage and no file size restrictions.
Does this work offline?
Yes, once the page loads, you can apply dithering effects entirely offline without internet connection.
What image formats are supported?
The tool supports JPG, PNG, GIF, and WEBP image formats for both input and output.
What is dithering and why use it?
Dithering reduces color palettes by scattering pixels to create the illusion of more colors. It creates retro, artistic effects and reduces file sizes.
What dithering algorithms are available?
Common algorithms include Floyd-Steinberg (smooth gradients), Atkinson (crisp patterns), Ordered/Bayer (regular patterns), and threshold dithering.
Can I control the color palette?
Yes, most dithering tools allow you to specify the number of colors (2-color black/white, 16-color, 256-color, etc.).
How does dithering affect file size?
Dithering with reduced color palettes significantly decreases file size, especially when saving as PNG or GIF formats.
Can I undo the dithering effect?
Dithering is destructive. To try different settings, re-upload the original image instead of processing an already-dithered image.
What are common use cases for dithering?
Retro graphics, pixel art, low-bandwidth images, vintage poster effects, and creating aesthetic “1-bit” or “8-bit” visuals.
