Dither
Drop a photo. Get dithered pixel art back.
Pixel art, ASCII and halftone from any image. Pick a palette and a dither, nudge a few sliders, export. Everything runs in your browser.
What it does
Every control the editor has, nothing it doesn't.
Dither
Floyd–Steinberg, Atkinson, Sierra or Bayer. Anywhere from stark 1-bit to 16 colors from a hand-picked palette.
Adjust
Brightness, contrast, highlights and shadows. Then paint straight onto the grid to fix any stray pixel.
ASCII and halftone
Character sets from blocks to braille, or newspaper dots. Set the density and decide how much each cell carries.
Export
PNG, clean SVG, a looping GIF, or plain text you can paste into a terminal.
Set it moving
Let the adjustments drift from frame to frame and the picture starts to breathe: pixels flicker between light and shade, ASCII crackles like a weak channel. Stamp a caption in a bitmap font that snaps to the grid, then export a looping GIF.
Dither for Mac
The same engine in your menu bar. Drop or paste a photo, pick a palette, and save a looping GIF.
