Preview each filtered copy, then save them one by one or all together as a ZIP.
One bit, big attitude
Binary art allows only pure black and pure white, like the earliest computer graphics. With dithering on, mid-tones dissolve into newsprint dot patterns that read as shading from a distance; with it off, shapes turn brutally flat.
This differs from the plain black-and-white tool: dithering preserves the feeling of grey through texture. Posters, stickers and engraved-look illustrations thrive on it.
Dither or not
Keep dithering on for photos of people and landscapes, where dots fake smooth shading beautifully. Switch it off for logos, QR-like graphics and text, where crisp edges beat texture.
The invert toggle swaps the whole piece into a white-on-dark negative, handy for dark-mode graphics. As always, compare both and download the stronger version.
Dots drawn discreetly
Each dot pattern is calculated in your browser tab from your own image data. Bold artistic experiments need no cloud rendering farm and no waiting line.
Uploads never happen, accounts never exist, and previews never phone home. Your avant-garde phase remains a private matter between you and your pixels.
Questions
Are my images uploaded when I use this?
No. Everything runs inside your browser on your own device. Your files are never sent to us or to anyone else.
How is this different from the black-and-white tool?
Both give pure 1-bit results, but this tool adds optional dithering: mid-tones become dot patterns that suggest grey, instead of flat black or white.
What does dithering change?
Instead of hard flat areas, shaded regions dissolve into scattered dots like a newspaper photo, which keeps faces and landscapes recognizable.
Is it free?
Yes. Free to use, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limits.
