Do I need to install anything?
No. Ditther runs entirely in your browser. Open ditther.com, drop in your image, and start editing. No download, no signup, no app store.
Are my image uploads private?
Yes. Your images and videos are processed locally in your browser and never uploaded to our servers. We can't view, store, or access your media.
What is dithering?
Dithering is an image processing technique that uses patterns of pixels to simulate colors and gradients beyond a limited palette. It creates a textured, retro aesthetic common in early digital art and print media.
What is a halftone effect?
Halftone recreates images using a grid of dots of varying sizes — the same technique used in newspapers, comic books, and screen printing. Ditther lets you control dot size, density, and blending in real time.
