About Halftone effect

Rebuild a photo from dots of varying size, the way newspapers and pop art do, with your own dot size and angle. Larger dots give a bolder comic look, and an angle of 45 degrees is the classic print choice because the eye notices the grid least.

How to use Halftone effect

  1. Choose your photo, or drag and drop it here. You can try the sample first.
  2. Adjust the settings and watch the preview update.
  3. Download the result as PNG, JPG or WEBP.
