Built for graphics you can actually use
Looks, not jargon
Newspaper, Pop duotone, Risograph, Night neon, Comic, Photo colors, and Jewel paint. Newspaper is a halftone-style dot matrix; Photo colors and Jewel paint keep a stippled, painted read. Switch styles without touching amplitude sliders.
Quality you choose
Recommended keeps the whole photo with a 2048 long edge. Switch to Low for speed, or Original for the photo’s pixels — slower on large shots.
PNG, JPEG, and SVG that match
Dots are a list of shapes. The preview, PNG, JPEG, and SVG come from the same document, so the file matches what you see. SVG is vector. JPEG is a smaller file of the same pixels.
Stays on your device
Conversion runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server, and you do not need an account.
The whole photo
Nothing is cropped into a square or story frame. What you convert is the picture you uploaded, fit to the quality you picked.
Advanced when you want it
Density, circle / square / diamond shapes, brightness mapping, and ordered dither stay folded away until a look needs a nudge.
