Turn any photo into crisp retro pixel art in seconds — ordered Bayer, Floyd–Steinberg, Atkinson and halftone dithering with duotone and palette color, exported as pixel-perfect PNG or scalable SVG. It runs entirely in your browser, so nothing is ever uploaded.
Dithering is a technique that simulates shades and gradients using a limited set of colors, arranging tiny dots or pixels in patterns your eye blends into smooth tones. It's the look behind early Macintosh graphics, Game Boy screens, riso prints and 1-bit web aesthetics. Dither Studio brings that craft to the browser with real-time controls, so you can dial in the exact grain, contrast and palette you want.
"It nailed the exact 1-bit look I wanted for my album art in about ten seconds. The SVG dropped straight into my print files."
"First dither tool I've used that runs instantly in the browser and doesn't upload my images anywhere. It just works."
"The Bayer and Atkinson presets are gorgeous, and the duotone palettes save me hours on social graphics."

Yes — it's completely free to use, with no sign-up and no watermarks.
